Pharoah Ramses XIII (Jerzy Zelnik) defies tradition when his father dies and assumes command of the military, a post usually occupied by priests. His defiance leads to a battle between those loyal to Ramses XIII and the power structure of the priests. The priests try to fool the people by capitalizing on a solar eclipse, but Ramses XIII realizes the event is only a natural phenomenon. Battle scenes and period costumes from ancient Egypt add to the effectiveness of this colorful, epic historical drama. Nominated as one of the Best Foreign Films of 1966.
