Titus Andronicus

1985 NR 2h 48m 7.7

Roman warrior Titus Andronicus finds himself trapped in a nightmarish cycle of vengeance, misery, and bloodshed.

Having subdued the Goths, warrior Titus Andronicus (Trevor Peacock) returns to Rome to bury his sons, with Gothic Queen Tamora (Dame Eileen Atkins) and her retinue as captives. The newly-dead Roman Emperor's two sons, Saturninus (Brian Protheroe) and Bassianus (Nicholas Gecks), are competing for their father's title. According to Roman custom, Titus sacrifices Tamora's eldest son to the gods. Having the deciding vote, he also chooses Saturninus as Emperor. Both acts have tragic consequences.
