- Synopsis:
In 64 AD, after secretly setting his city ablaze to create more space for his palace, the Emperor Nero (Stephen Baldwin) lays the blame on the new Christian sect and orders their arrest. Their leader, the Apostle Peter (John Rhys-Davies) is thrown into prison where he is tortured. When Peter is pushed to the brink of death, Nero orders Susanna (Brittany Bristow), a servant of his wife, to keep him alive and secure a confession. During her visits to the prison, Susanna develops a relationship with Martinian (Steve Byers), a Roman soldier. Influenced by both his feelings for Susanna and the stories of Peter, Martinian comes to realise that it is not the Christians who are the criminals, but rather his own Emperor. When Susanna is discovered to be a secret Christian, and is arrested, Martinian must face a choice between abandoning her to her fate, or facing Nero and putting his own career, and life, on the line. - Actors:

The film covers only Peter's last days in prison in Rome before his execution under Emperor Nero. The story is filled out with a fictional love story between the girl who visits him and a Roman guard who are both converted to Christianity. Very colourful and some prison scenes are like Rembrandt paintings with a single shaft of light illuminating the picture. However, there is some cheapness as it is obvious that all scenes in each location were filmed at once with no change in lighting or background each time. The acting of the part of Peter is superior to the too modernistic acting of the other characters though the part of Nero is interesting.
