This classical peplum tells a fictitious story set in 490 BC, the time of the Medic Wars during which Persian armies sweep the Ancient world. Having brought home to Athens the Olympic victor's laurel crown, Philippides joins as commander the Sacred Guard, which is expected to defend the city-state's liberty, a year after the chasing of the tyrant Hippias. Athenian supporters of Hippias conspire, hoping to side Philippides by marriage to Theocrites' expensive servant Charis, and thus neutralize the guard. She fails to seduce him, as his heart is already taken by a young girl before the learns her name is Andromeda, daughter of Creuso. Everything personal is likely to be put on hold when the news breaks that the Persian King of kings Darius's vast army is marching on Greece, hoping its internal division will make its conquest a walk-over. Theocrites reproaches Miltiades to hold back the sacred guard to defend the Pallas temple after a likely defeat, and proposes instead to negotiate terms with Darius, but is told an alliance with Sparta could save the Hellenic nation. Philippides makes the journey and survives a fiendish attempt on his life by conspirators; he returns with Sparta's engagement during the Persian attack in far greater numbers on Militiades valiant troops. Charis, left for dead after overhearing Darius's orders, reaches the camp to tell that the Persian fleet, now commanded by traitor Theocrites, is heading for Piraeus to take Athens. Miltiades sends Philippides ahead to hold out with the sacred guard until his hopefully victorious troops arrive, and after his perilous journey back they do a great job, proving superior athletes can do better then traditional naval ramming tactics ...
A Greek soldier leads the fight against an invading Persian army.
A clean-shaven Steve Reeves, it seems, can run faster, jump higher, and shoot straighter than anyone else- which he does, handily winning the Olympics. As farmboy Phillipedes, Reeves is a natural athlete who isn't to be trifled with: when an unscrupulous wrestler has the unmitigated gall to grapple with him, he squeezes the stuffing out of the guy. As in most of these sword and sandal epics, there's behind-the-scenes political intrigue and plenty of action. There's also the stunningly beautiful Demongeut as Andromeda: in her see-through gown, she's just about all the reason ANYBODY would need to get motivated (to do anything)... Tourner and Bava (or one or the other) handle the million-man mêlées about as well as anyone's ever handled a crowded battlefield and, as the movie nears its end, Phil must utilize all of his Olympian skills to save the day (a good excuse to showcase said skills), running and jumping and swimming like, well, a true Olympian. The aquatic attack at film's end is VERY well-staged and I'll be ****ed if I can figure out how they faked the numerous spearings: it looks to me like some of those guys might've actually been seriously hurt. One of the combatants makes this timeless observation: "There is no justice in war!"
The giant of marathon is Phillipides (Steve Reeves) - an Olympic champion and warrior called upon to defend ancient Greece against an invasion by Persia from without and the treason of Theocrates from within. In the course of doing that, he manages to get a couple of beauties to fall in love with him, of course.

In all honesty, 80% of this movie is for the most part uninteresting, dealing with romances that I really didn't care about and political machinations that were rather confusing to say the least. It had a cheap feel right off the top, performances that were plodding and, as an Italian-French production, was rather poorly dubbed into English. I give credit for the last 20% or so of the movie, though. The closing sea battle between Athens and Persia was a pretty good ride, as Phillipides and Theocrates finally confront one another in battle. Still, though, it's not a good movie. For the sake of that closing battle, it gets 3/10
