Jack Palance gives a flamboyant and swaggering performance as Attila the Hun in SIGN OF THE PAGAN, a first-rate '50s sword-and-sandal spectacle that was the first CinemaScope film made by director Douglas Sirk and boasts a more literate script than most of its ilk.
As Attila the Hun (Jack Palance) marches across Europe in his attempt to conquer the world, a Roman centurion named Marcian (Jeff Chandler) is sent to try to stop him from attacking Rome. Marcian is captured by Attila, but the Hun takes a liking to him, as does his daughter Kubra (Rita Gam).
Marcian manages to escape on Attila's prize stallion, and he rides to Constantinople where he requests the help...
