Acclaimed filmmaker Jerzy Kawalerowicz directs his last film one of the most lavish and expensive films ever made in Poland.
This familiar tale of Christianity set against the backdrop of Emperor Nero and the burning of Rome begins when soldier Marcus Vinicius returns to the Eternal City for rest and relaxation. Polish action star Boguslaw Linda costars as Vinicius s uncle Petronius, an official in good standing with the corrupt Emperor. Vinicius s loyalties are tested when he becomes interested in the teachings of Jesus through his sweetheart Lygia.
