Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton star in this Academy
Award-winning, epic retelling of the life and loves of the Egyptian
queen. Desperate to hold onto her throne in the face of Roman
expansion, Cleopatra (Taylor) employs all her charms in an attempt
to secure an alliance with Julius Caesar (Rex Harrison). When
Caesar is subsequently murdered, however, a vulnerable Cleopatra
quickly turns her affections to popular Roman general Mark Antony
(Burton). But although the relationship initially fares well, it's
not long before the once proud general, now emasculated by the
queen's charms, is reduced to a shadow of his former self that
presages the doomed lovers' ultimate fate.

US Ambassador Robert Thorn (Gregory Peck) is persuaded to
substitute a newborn baby whose mother has died in childbirth for
his own stillborn son. By the age of five the child, Damien, seems
to be exerting a malevolent influence on the Thorn household,
suffering a violent fit when he is taken to church and causing his
nanny to hang herself. Thorn searches for an answer to his son's
behaviour and meets maverick priest Father Brennan (Patrick
Troughton), who tries to convince him that Damien is in fact the
Antichrist and must be stopped at all costs. The Ambassador at
first dismisses this as the crazy rantings of a religious maniac,
but subsequent events suggest that maybe the priest had a point.
