In 4th-century Rome, a Christian slave named Vibio refuses to fight as a gladiator. His master’s daughter, Fabiola, whips him for his insubordination, but her cousin’s kindness toward him inspires Fabiola’s pity. With her help, Vibio and his fellow slaves instigate a massive uprising against their owners.
