This Italian scandal epic set in the fourth century B.C. stars Russell and Serato as two brave brothers, who, along with five equally brave ex-galley slaves, fight nobly against the tyrannical ruler of an unnamed Middle Eastern country. Russell goes undercover as the tyrant's architect and learns the evil despot's battle plans. When no one is looking, he dons a disguise and joins his brother and their merry band to battle against the rampaging armies. This film is an obvious rehash of previous films such as THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN, which, in turn, had its roots in Kurosawa's THE SEVEN SAMUARAI. Unfortunately, this picture has neither the quality nor the grace of its predecessors, although it is tolerable for fans of this genre. leave a comment
