In this darkly comic drama, a charismatic leader is given absolute freedom to challenge social convention in pursuit of personal obsession. Following the death of his beloved sister, Emperor Caligula (Michael Sheen) deserts the Roman Assembly for three days and three nights. He returns with a single objective: to understand the meaning of life. In an environment of mounting hysteria, those who surround him look on in horror as the empire flounders and Caligula's megalomania reaches its inevitable bloody climax.
