Synopsis
During the 12th century, German Emperor Federico Barbarossa (Rutger Hauer) triumphs over enemy lands to revitalize a once-great empire. But he must contend with Italian Alberto da Giussana (Raz Degan) and his “Company of Death,” which is comprised of 900 angry men. They are all willing to fight to the death at the epic Battle of Legnano. Renzo Martinelli (The Stone Merchant) directs and co-writes this history-rich drama.
