An unforgettable
tale of unparalleled fury,
brought to life with
the passion, romance,
and violence of an
historic time.
This stunning Hollywood epic is a
sweeping story of loyalty and love, as
a small group of foreigners are
trapped inside the Forbidden City of
Peking, under siege by thousands of
Chinese fanatics. The courage and
leadership of a U.S. Marine (Charlton
Heston) and the British Ambassador
(David Niven) are the only hope
against insurmountable odds, while a
beautiful Russian Countess (Ava
Gardner) must choose between
freedom and commitment.
