Synopsis
Au VI siècle av. J.-C., Rome est assiégée par les Étrusques et leurs alliés, des soldats grecs ainsi que des Gaulois menés par Drusco. Porsenna, le chef des Étrusques, accorde une trêve à Rome à condition que la cité lui remette mille otages en garantie. Drusco, attiré par Clélie qui est à la tête d'un bataillon de courageuses Romaines, exige que ces femmes fassent partie des otages. Lucille, la fille de Porsenna, exhorte les Grecs à détruire Rome. Elle décharge les Gaulois de la surveillance des prisonnières et, dès qu'ils sont partis en expédition, elle enivre les Étrusques pour les inciter à abattre les otages. Clélie et ses compagnes réussissent à s'échapper, ce qui met fin à la trêve et déclenche l'attaque des Étrusques. Malgré la ruse de Clélie et de ses guerrières qui empruntent les égouts souterrains pour surprendre l'ennemi par l'arrière, les Étrusques sont vainqueurs. Mais Drusco intervient pour que la paix soit proclamée et demande à Clélie de l'épouser.Actors
