Synopsis
An epic true story of Jews fleeing Roman destruction of Jerusalem in 70 A.D. Pursued to a mountain stronghold of the Herods, they face lives enslaved, or suicide. This is the full-length television miniseries starring Peter O'Toole.

Product Description
In the first century A. D., Flavius Silva (Peter O'Toole), commander of the Roman Tenth Legion in Palestine, leads his forces in combat against the remaining Jewish Zealots who have taken refuge in the seemingly impregnable fortress of Masada. There the engineering and military might of Rome faces the passion and ingenuity of Eleazar ben Yair (Peter Strauss) and his people.

4.0 out of 5 stars Masada- History still makes the best stories, 4 Dec 2008
By Mr. Patrick M. Vincent "hannibal48512" (wiltshire england) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Proof, if more were needed, that history provides the basis for the best stories. Masada tells the tale of a small band of hardened Jewish rebels who are the last remaining resistance to the Roman domination of their land. Told largely from the point of view of the two leaders involved it culminates in the siege of the 'impregnable' fortress of Masada, on the shores of the Dead Sea, by the Tenth Legion. Often tense, gripping and dramatic it is lifted by big performances from big character actors - Peter O'Toole, Anthony Quayle, Denis Quilley, David Warner, Timothy West and Peter Strauss amongst others. Another real bonus is the top notch score by Hollywood legend, Jerry Goldsmith.

5.0 out of 5 stars Insurgents or heroes?, 23 Feb 2009
A long awaited product, superceding "The Antagonists" - a film merely based on extracts from the Masada series (see review). Now at last the whole story, and well worth seeing for its spectacle, action, and story-line. Those who were trying to get hold of "The Antagonists" (only available so far on VHS)- don't bother. This is the original story.

5.0 out of 5 stars At last the wait is over, 7 April 2009
At last the wait is over. I first saw this series while still at school and have wanted to see it again since then, And it was worth it to see this superb series again,with a strong cast and excellent story line Masada stands head and shoulders above the rest, well worth buying just for it's spectacle along with Peter o'toole's superb performance as the Roman General keen for a end to the war in Judea as well as Peter Strauss the jewish leader who will not give in to Roman rule.
Full of drama,a great plot.superb.
