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.
