In the dark, decadent last days of the Roman Empire, a pagan soldier named Vinicus sees a girl of exotic beauty and arranges for her abduction and plans to make her his concubine. Over time, Ligia is drawn to her captor and Vinicus begins to question his hedonistic life. While the apostles Peter and Paul seek to save the city from moral decline, Christians are brutally martyred in the Coliseum and Rome burns. Quo Vadis captures all the horror, madness, and suspense of one of the most unforgettable eras in history.
