Roman general Titus Andronicus returns from war and becomes caught in political intrigue and revenge. Julie Taymor’s 1999 film brings Shakespeare’s tragedy into a striking visual world that combines different historical periods. Anthony Hopkins and Jessica Lange lead the cast.

Pula’s Roman amphitheatre appears in the opening and closing scenes. Its vast interior becomes the arena into which Titus leads his army, giving the city one of its most memorable screen appearances.
