Based on the 490 B.C. Greek marathon runner who ran from Marathon to Athens to warn of Persian attacks and to Sparta to get assistance in the defense of Greece, there are many liberties taken as our hero (Steve Reeves) takes charge of the fighting and saves the Athenians, Greece, and even the rest of Europe from the dastardly Persians.
