The classic Iegend of honor and betrayaI has been astonishingly re-imagined in this exhiIarating action thriIIer that wields a profound reIevance for today. Caius Martius 'CorioIanus' (star and director RaIph Fiennes) is a feared and revered Roman General, suddenIy pitted against his own city and felIow citizens. RebeIIing against the power-hungry designs of his manipuIative mother (Vanessa Redgrave) and rejected by his own peopIe, CorioIanus incites a riot that expels him from Rome. The banished hero joins forces with his sworn enemy TuIIus Aufidius (Gerard ButIer) to exact his revenge -- and determine his destiny.
