The Giant of Marathon
Greece, in the year 490 B.C. was a land divided - Athens against
Sparta - while Athens itself was torn by internal conflict treachery. Enemy of
all Greece and poised for conquest was the great Darius, King of the Persians.
In that fateful moment the Greeks found a hero to unite them - Philippides, the
greatest athlete of his time, winner of the Olympic Games, whose race from
Marathon to Athens not only saved them from destruction, but set the pattern for
the great marathon race which has crowned the Olympics ever since.
This film is truly a classic. Impressive battle scenes are
enough to delight any peplum genre fan while technical aspects of the film
provide a backdrop for a well honed storyline. Special effects and camera work
are particularly exemplary.
