A soldier, fighting in the WW I, possesses incredible strength. While fighting in the World War, he also fights a private war trying to save a girl from a castle where she is imprisoned... This is a successful film by the tandem Luigi Maggi and Giovani Pastrone, in which, due to the contemporary war euphoria, Pastrone’s Roman hero from the film Cabiria, became a modern Italian soldier.
