Attila - The Hun (Original title: Attila ) is an American television miniseries directed by Dick Lowry from 2001 .

action

In the fourth century AD, Rome lost its former strength and splendor. At the borders of the Roman Empire , Attila is getting ready to make his people the greatest in the world. He sees his chance to give his nomadic people a home. At first he allies himself against the will of his brother with the Romans and has this tribute paid for the assurance that he will not attack the city. When he realizes that the Roman general Flavius ​​Aëtius is opposing this policy against the will of Empress Placidia and also rejecting the alliance with him against a third power, Attila's anger is directed against Rome. A monumental battle ensues.

Reviews

"Opulent historical picture arch with good actors, who cares little about historical and political accuracy and with considerable production effort delivers long, full entertainment in the style of a monumental soap", wrote the lexicon of international films .

The DVD & Video Guide praised the “strong, believable” portrayal of the leading role.

Historical inaccuracies

This article or the following section is not adequately provided with supporting documents ( e.g. individual evidence ). Information without sufficient evidence could be removed soon. Please help Wikipedia by researching the information and including good evidence.

• There is no evidence that Attila was ever in Rome.
• The Roman shields and weapons shown are similar to those of the early Imperial Era, not the late ones.
• Attila does not siege the city of Orleans with catapults , but with Bliden (Triboke), but these were developed later.
• Emperor Theodosius II died in 450 AD and did not live to see Attila's death.
• Both Galla Placidia and Flavius ​​Felix also died earlier than Attila and consequently could not be present at the murder of Flavius ​​Aëtius.
• On the walls of the Eastern Roman Imperial Palace, the famous images of Emperor Justinian and his wife Theodora can be seen, which are actually depicted in the Church of San Vitale in Ravenna. In addition, both were born long after the film was set.
