The Last Days of Pompeii

As the Roman city crumbles, a blacksmith's descent into corruption as a gladiator is mirrored by his son's growing devotion to Christianity.

In ancient Pompeii, a gentle blacksmith named Marcus is driven to become a gladiator after his wife's tragic death due to lack of medical care. As he rises to wealth and power through shady dealings, his son Flavius, who was briefly mentored by Jesus, remains true to their family's peaceful values. Their contrasting paths are disrupted by the devastating eruption of Mount Vesuvius.
