Leipzig, East Germany. A flashpoint of spies and counterspies, moves and countermoves in a Cold War that could turn hot - nuclear hot - in seconds. In that perilous city, the CIA asks American physicist James Bower (Montgomery Clift) to meet with a Russian scientist who's eager to share vital information with the West. Simple enough, until Bower finds himself sequestered in a hotel room, subjected to harrowing mind games as a "guest" of Communist agents who want to turn him into The Defector. He resists - and plunges into a netherworld of secret microfilm, covert ops, lies and sudden death. In his last film, Clift brings gravitas to an espionage thriller where paranoia is business as usual and murder is a political tool.

In 4th-century Rome, a Christian slave named Vibio (Lang Jeffries) refuses to fight as a gladiator. His master's daughter, Fabiola (Rhonda Fleming), whips him for his insubordination, but her cousin's (Wandisa Guida) kindness toward him inspires Fabiola's pity. With her help, Vibio and his fellow slaves instigate a massive uprising against their owners. Inspired by true events, the story is loosely based on Cardinal Wiseman's novel &NFi;Fabiola&NFi_;.

In a tyrannical kingdom there is an evil ruler and a queen who lusts after Hercules who is attracted to a handmaiden. A rebellion overthrows the ruler.
