Muscle man Steve Reeves, is a Roman soldier returning to his old hometown of Pompeii after duty in Palestine. He runs into a lot of political intrigue with some evil Pompeiians who are framing the Christians for murder and looting sprees. Reeves gets to the bottom of things and figures out who is framing the Christians.
However the Christians are rounded up and sent to the arena to get eaten by the lions. Just when things couldn't get worse Mt. Vesuvius erupts which resolves the whole mess by destroying everything in sight.
What we have here is kind of a cut rate version of I Claudius with some destruction stuff thrown in for good measure. The volcano stuff at the end of the film isn't too bad the rest of the film is only so so. This film is basically for people who enjoy these cheesy Italian "sword and sandal" epics/
100 minutes.
