As the most recent in a long line of
Caesars, a young Roman child, Romulus (Thomas Sangster) is poised to inherit the
throne, the Germanic forces invade, lay siege to the city, and brutally murder
his parents. At the last second, with his life hanging by a thread, Romulus
receives the protection of military commander Aurelius (Colin Firth), who
assembles a cadre of rebels, including Romulus, the boy's magician instructor
Ambrosinus (Ben Kingsley) and the Indian female warrior Mira (Aishwarya Rai).
After Romulus discovers an enchanted sword once claimed by Julius Caesar, the
troupe heads out to the province of Britannia and Hadrian's Wall. There, the men
will regroup with the Ninth Legion and plan one final triumphant stand against
the barbarian invaders of Rome.
