A really long time ago, some guy apparently got crowned as the new emperor of Rome, only to be captured shortly thereafter by a mean man. So some brave guy rescues the emperor along with a small army and a mysterious man whos really a woman. After freeing the emperor, the small army betrays the brave guy. Then the brave guy and the emperor set out to find an army still loyal to them and Rome, so this completely convoluted hogwash based on Valerio Manfredis novel can continueand so Colin Firth can diminish what was left of his dignity in boring bloodless battles directed by Doug Lefler.
