Attack of the Moors

In 10th century Cordoba, Spain, the Moorish caliphate is at its zenith. The ruthless vizier Almanzor seeks to expand his empire and control. He manipulates the young caliph and plots against noblemen, including Count Sancho, who defends his Christian lands. Amidst political intrigue and battles, the beautiful Fatima becomes a pawn in these power struggles, caught between her love for a Christian knight and her duty to her people.

• Praised for its ambitious scale and visual elements.
