During the Roman Empire, the wicked and crass
Crassius (
Patrick Bergin) rules his small province with an iron hand and a sharp sword. The only resistance in his domain is a tribe of women skilled in the martial arts -- Amazons -- who regularly whip
Crassius' gladiators in defense of their freedom. One Amazon in particular -- the outrageously beautiful former slave dancer
Serena (
Nichole Hiltz) -- is bent on revenge, seeing how
Crassius was responsible for the brutal death of her mother, the destruction of her childhood village, her enslavement, and the death of her boyfriend
Lucius (
Richard Norton). It all comes down to a no-holds-barred clash of Amazons and gladiators in a packed arena, with
Serena and
Crassius headlining the bout.
