Cabiria
All Nations Bow to This - The Greatest Spectacle the World Has Seen!
Directed by Giovanni Pastrone
Produced by Itala Film
An epic silent spectacle of ancient Rome and Carthage, built on heroic rescue, separation, and the hope of reunion across grand historical battles and exotic locales.
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?
