Coriolanus

123 min

Caius Martius, known as Coriolanus, is a feared Roman general whose victories against Rome’s enemies have done little to soften his pride. Pressured by his ambitious mother to pursue the office of consul, he enters a political arena where his contempt for the public and clashes with fellow leaders quickly turn him into a target. When civil unrest leads to his banishment, Coriolanus turns to the one man he should never trust: Tullus Aufidius, his sworn enemy. What begins as a story of military honor and public power hardens into betrayal, exile, and a threat aimed back at Rome itself.
