The film sweeps through the splendor and decadence of Tiberian Rome, where Galilean prophet John the Baptist denounces King Herod and Queen Herodias. Herodias plots John’s death, while Herod hesitates under an ominous prophecy. The long‑absent step‑daughter Salome returns, igniting Herod’s lust, which Herodias hopes to exploit. Meanwhile Salome and her lover Claudius edge toward the new faith, and her famed dance carries a startling, unforeseen price.
