A dramatization of the ascent to Caesar and subsequent reign of Caligula, one of the most notorious leaders of ancient Rome. We see his ambition, his scheming, his perversion and decadence, his brutality and his lunacy.
After murdering his adoptive grandfather, the Emperor Tiberius, Caligula seizes power and begins to dismantle the Roman Empire from within. A treatise on the corrupting influence of power, Caligula undertakes a harrowing journey through depravity, madness, and destruction. 40 years after its original release, Penthouse Films International presents a completely new cut of the shocking cult classic Caligula. This unprecedented reconstruction is made up entirely of never-before-seen footage. One of the biggest scandals in cinema history, the Ultimate Cut of this notoriously decadent film finally presents the complete performances of the legendary cast for the first time, in the manner it was always intended to be seen. Starring Malcolm McDowell, Peter O’Toole, John Gielgud, and Helen Mirren.
