Le sette folgori di Assur (English title: War Gods of Babylon) is a 1962 Italian peplum colour film set in ancient Mesopotamia. The film anachronistically portrays as contemporaries several figures who historically lived hundreds of years apart.
Plot
Mirra, a young girl whose parents were killed by the Assyrians, was found by Zoroaster, messenger of the gods, near her slaughtered people. He leads her to Nineveh ruled by King Sardanapalus. A love is born between her and Shammash, brother of the king. Sardanapalus loves her too and realizing that this passion could create discord with his brother appoints Shammash king of Babylon and sends him there with Mirra. The situation, however, exacerbates and magnifies their division until Assyria and Babylon are at war with each other. Eventually Sardanapulus offends the gods, resulting in a divine flood that destroys Assyria.
