200 years before Christ, Rome dominates; a confident woman believes she is invincible, but Hannibal, bound by oath to avenge his homeland, will change that. The documentary explores the 26‑year‑old Carthaginian commander, his motives, and his audacious plan to march 40,000 soldiers and 37 elephants across the Alps—a feat many deemed impossible.
