Overview

Young Cabiria is kidnapped by pirates and sold as a slave in Carthage. Just as she's to be sacrificed to Moloch, Cabiria is rescued by Fulvius Axilla, a good-hearted Roman spy, and his powerful slave, Maciste. The trio are broken up as Cabiria is entrusted to a woman of noble birth. With Cabiria's fate unknown, Maciste punished for his heroism, and Fulvius sent away to fight for Rome, is there any hope of our heroes reuniting?

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

An audacious historical epic of impossible scope, where grand battle sequences and baroque set design dwarf intimate human struggles. It's a film of staggering ambition that moves between intimate rescue and sprawling spectacle with the confidence of early cinema at its most visionary.
