A Biblical character comes to the aid of damsels and distress and a troubled ruler in this 1960 swords-and-sandals drama from director Carlo Campogalliani, based of a story and screenplay from Ennio de Concini and Oreste Biancoli. Maciste (Mark Forest), a legenday hero and strongman, is forced to save a drug-addled pharoah and a group of female slaves from a evil queen (Chelo Alonso) who will stop at nothing in her search for total domination. ~ Tom Ciampoli
