Sertorius

The film chronicles the life of Quintus Sertorius, a Roman general who, in the 1st century BC, led a rebellion against the corrupt Roman Senate. Exiled and hunted, Sertorius found refuge in Hispania, where he rallied local tribes and established a remarkable independent republic, becoming a symbol of resistance against tyranny.

Sertorius received mixed to positive reviews, with many critics praising its ambitious scope and Franco Nero's performance as the titular general.

• Praised for its epic scale and Franco Nero's commanding presence.

• Criticized by some for its lengthy runtime and historical complexities.
