03:08 [APPLAUSE]
03:36 In the days of imperial Rome, under the emperor Caesar
03:39 Vitellius, when luxury, magnificence, and depravity
03:43 were at their peak, a man endowed
03:45 with amazing physical strength and indomitable courage
03:49 suddenly makes his appearance.
03:52 He courageously baffles the plans
03:54 of an ambitious man whose sole object is to satisfy
03:57 his blind thirst for power.
03:59 And who's threatening Rome?
04:00 The Christians, as you very well know,
04:02 with their ridiculous superstitions,
04:03 their disobedience of our laws, their plotting
04:05 in the shadow--
04:06 Why don't you capture them, see?
04:07 They're destroyed instead of standing around chattering.
04:11 Employing the boldest stratagems and the cleverest
04:14 devices, he saves hundreds of Christians
04:16 from death in the arena.
04:19 Who is this man who dares defy Rome and its emperor?
04:23 [APPLAUSE]
04:25 Maciste, the gladiator of Sparta.
04:28 [APPLAUSE]

04:34 [GRUNTING]
04:37 He will not accept oppression and the abuse of power.
04:41 And while the Christians bow in resignation
04:43 before cruel domination, he engages in battle.
04:47 [GRUNTING]
04:51 But what is it that impels him to fight
04:53 with such fury and dedication?
04:55 [CHANTING]
04:58 His profound religious faith, ambition, lust for power?
05:06 Well, now, would you like to have my villa at Antium?
05:10 10 of the most beautiful slave girls in Rome,
05:12 100,000 pieces of gold.
05:14 No, it is love.
05:16 He loves and is beloved with complete devotion,
05:23 even to the supreme sacrifice.
05:26 And it is love that gives him the strength to save himself,
05:30 a love above earthly passion, a love glowing
05:33 with spiritual fervor.
05:34 [MUSIC PLAYING]
05:49 From the black cloud that hovers threateningly in the air,
05:52 presage of death and destruction,
05:54 first the tempest that lashes the drama
05:56 to its glorious conclusion.
