The Assassination

An adaptation of Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar," this classic tale recounts the life and subsequent death of one of history's greatest conquerors.

While multitudes are celebrating Caesar's military victories, the envious Cassius is gradually convincing Brutus that Caesar's life must be sacrificed for the common good. The fatal deed is planned for the Ides of March, and, despite a soothsayer's warning and his wife Calpurnia's dream, Caesar goes to the senate and is murdered. At Caesar's funeral, the fallen leader's henchman, Marc Antony, sways the crowds, and then sets out with an army to defeat the fleeing forces of Cassius and Brutus.

This movie tells the story of Julius Caesar, one of history's most powerful military leaders, showing how he lived and how he died, based on Shakespeare's famous play.
