After the fall of Rome, its last emperor, 12-year-old Romulus Augustus, becomes a prisoner on the island of Capri. With the help of his wise teacher Ambrosinus and his legionnaire Aurelius, he escapes from Capri. He and his men journey to Britannia to find the fabled Dragon Legion, and the beginning of the Arthurian legend is born.

Critics Consensus

With miscast leads and unoriginal, uninspired dialogue, The Last Legion pales in comparison to the recent cinematic epics it invokes.

Paying scant attention to either historical accuracy or character complexity, the Xena: Warrior Princess director Lefler goes for a straightforward good versus evil plot with a predictable climactic battle.

There are, after all, aimed at young audiences plenty of movies more mean-spirited, indiscriminate and obnoxious than The Last Legion. But at the same time there are plenty that are, alas, less frustrating.

No twist is too farfetched for this Dino De Laurentiis epic.

As the Roman Empire crumbles, undemanding escapist entertainment with wonderful production design and a cast.

Casting may be an issue, but it isn't the only one.

A bit hokey sometimes, but enjoyable for what it is and the great cast. Great fight scenes, too. Although as a history teacher, I had to laugh at Sir Ben's characterizing Tiberius as a great man--he was a horrible person who used his Villa at Capri to indulge being a pedophile.. When the children no longer pleased him, he threw them off onto the rocks. The history here was laughable, but movies such as this one aren't really meant to be a documentary.
