In Part 1, the fetching Cleopatra (Leonor Varela) casts her spell over Julius Caesar (Timothy Dalton). This jeopardizes the smitten Caesar's standing in the eyes of his Roman countrymen, particularly Brutus and Caesar's scheming heir Octavian (Rupert Graves). Wielding her divinity and beauty like a sword, the lustful queen then sets her sights on Marc Antony (Billy Zane). Brutus: Sean Pertwee. Rufio: John Bowe. Directed by Franc Roddam.
