Attila (2001)

RELEASE YEAR: 2001

Attila - 2001 Television Miniseries

SUMMARY

During the waning days of the Roman Empire, the barbarian Huns are making their way toward Europe. A warrior named Attila (Gerard Butler) violently assumes Hun leadership and unites the warring clans under his banner. But this is not enough for him, Attila seeks to form an empire, and he sees Rome, bristling under the leadership of the incompetent Caesar Valentinian (Reg Rogers), ripe for the picking. In an attempt to quell a Hun invasion, ambitious Roman General Flavius Aetius (Powers Boothe) attempts to form an alliance with Attila against their mutual enemy, Visigoth King Theodoric (Liam Cunningham). But this plan backfires, and it soon becomes clear that a violent showdown between all three armies awaits.

‘Attila’ Is Slashing, Burning Fun

February 8, 2001

There's television, which calls for clearing your throat and speaking almost respectfully, and then there's TV. "Attila" is TV, a foolishly watchable, old-timey trash wallow with Roman baths, grunting battles and barbarian beauties. It's dumb Hun fun from the USA...

‘ATTILA’ THE HUNK LOOKS GOOD, SAYS LITTLE OF ACTUAL HISTORY

February 8, 2001

"Attila," a two-part, four-hour drama airing tonight and Wednesday on USA, is hardly a Hunney of a show, but it's worth a look if you're in the mood for swords, slashing and spectacle. Partly reminiscent of historical sagas such as "Braveheart" and "Gladiator," this...
