Pompeii
No warning. No escape.
Directed by Paul W. S. Anderson
Produced by Constantin Film, Impact Pictures
A high-stakes romantic action-disaster film that pairs forbidden love with gladiatorial combat and volcanic catastrophe in ancient Rome.
In 79 A.D., Milo, a slave turned gladiator, finds himself in a race against time to save his true love Cassia, the beautiful daughter of a wealthy merchant who has been unwillingly betrothed to a corrupt Roman Senator. As Mount Vesuvius erupts in a torrent of blazing lava, Milo must fight his way out of the arena in order to save his beloved as the once magnificent Pompeii crumbles around him.
