Plot: This film is a gangster version of Shakespeare's 'Julius Caesar'. It is set in the modern world of organized crime. It is shot in black and white to recall the gangster-noir movies of the 30's and 40's. Shakespeare's language has been preserved with just a few edits to fit the context of the film. As Caesar is about to be made the new 'don', Cassius convinces Brutus, Caesar's most trusted friend, to join a conspiracy to assassinate him because he has become too 'ambitious'.

As an adult, Vercingetorix becomes a brave and insightful warrior, and at first joins forces with the charismatic Julius Caesar.

Plot: Cleopatra, the famed Egyptian Queen born in 69 B.C., is shown to have been brought by Roman ruler Julius Caesar at age 18. Caesar becomes sexually obsessed by the 18 year old queen, beds her, and eventually has a son by her. However, his Roman followers and his wife are not pleased by the union. In fact, as Caesar has only a daughter by his wife, he had picked Octavian as his successor. The out-of-wedlock son of Cleopatra is seen to be a threat to his future leadership. Thus Brutus and other Roman legislators plot the assassination of Caesar. Caesar's loyal general, Marc Antony, and Octavian then divide up the Roman empire. Antony takes Egypt and soon takes up the affair with Cleopatra. However, Octavian soon launches an attack on Antony and ultimately defeats and mortally wounds him. Rather than permitting herself to be humiliated by Octavian, Cleopatra sends her son away to India and she commits suicide by permitting the deadly asp to bite her.
