Amore, avventura e un disastro naturale di proporzioni catastrofiche sono gli elementi chiave del film POMPEI, di Paul W. S. Anderson, epica ricostruzione di una delle tragedie più sconvolgenti del mondo antico. Ambientato nel 79 d.C., Pompei racconta la storia di Milo (Kit Harington), uno schiavo diventato un invincibile gladiatore che si ritrova a lottare contro il tempo per salvare la donna che ama, Cassia (Emily Browning), la bella figlia di un ricco mercante che è stata però promessa a un corrotto senatore romano. Quando il Vesuvio esplode con un torrente di lava incandescente, Milo deve riuscire ad abbandonare l’arena e salvare la sua amata, mentre quella che un tempo era la splendida città di Pompei gli crolla attorno.
