Die letzte Legion

Rom im Jahre 476 n.Chr. Als der 12-jährige Romulus Augustus zum neuen Kaiser gekrönt werden soll, fallen Barbarenhorden in Rom ein und verschleppen den Jungen nach Capri. Romulus' väterlicher Lehrmeister Ambrosius, der Chef seiner Leibgarde Aurelius und die geheimnisvolle ostländische Amazone Mira brechen auf, den Kaiser zu retten. Das gelingt, auch wenn die Mission jede Menge Kraft und Kampfgeschick erfordert. Doch die Goten haben Rom weiterhin fest im Griff, eine Rückkehr scheint so gut wie unmöglich. Die letzte Hoffnung ist die neunte römische Legion, die noch immer in Britannien gegen die Angeln zu Felde zieht. Als aber Romulus und seine Gefährten nach mühsamer Reise endlich ihr Ziel erreichen, werden sie böse überrascht: Die Herrschaft über das Gebiet führt mittlerweile der finstere Lord Vortgyn. Romulus ganzer Mut ist gefordert...

La Dernière Légion

Le film se déroule en 476 après Jésus-Christ, à l'aube de la chute de l'Empire romain d'Occident, menacé par l'arrivée des Goths venus de l'Est. Dans un empire en pleine guerre, Oreste, dernier maître de Rome, fait couronner son fils, Romulus Augustus, dernier héritier de Jules César. Celui-ci, âgé de 10 ans, est placé sous la protection du commandant Aurelius, mais lui et ses hommes ne peuvent rien contre l'attaque de Odoacre, chef des Goths : Rome est vaincu et le jeune empereur est capturé.

L'ultima legione

Roma, 460 A.D. L'Impero romano è in pericolo. Alla vigilia della cerimonia che deve incoronare imperatore il dodicenne Romolo Augusto, arriva a Roma il generale barbaro Odoacre per trattare con Oreste. Odoacre chiede l'Impero romano come equa ricompensa per il suo decennale sostegno alle legioni romane in Oriente. Ma Oreste rifiuta. Nella notte, dopo l'incoronazione di Romolo, Odoacre torna a Roma con il suo esercito. Oreste viene massacrato e Romolo è catturato insieme ad Ambrosino, suo tutore, e chiuso nella fortezza di Capri. Aurelio, comandante della quarta legione e sopravvissuto alla battaglia, parte alla ricerca di Romolo, accompagnato da un piccolo gruppo di uomini e da un misterioso guerriero bizantino, che si rivelerà essere una bellissima e giovane donna, Mira. Dal romanzo omonimo di Manfredi è stato tratto Il film, che riprende seppur con notevoli differenze le vicende narrate nel libro.
