Three Plebs join the army in peace-time, hoping to win respect, romance and military discounts at selected restaurants. But when war's declared they're sent to fight on the front line of a Roman legion for a cause they don't believe in. Now their main interest is the struggle for survival.

This film delivers an anachronistic, laugh-out-loud romp through ancient Rome, blending the chaos of war with a distinctly modern, irreverent comedic sensibility. It's a propulsive, often silly, and surprisingly endearing journey with a trio of hapless heroes navigating the absurdity of their circumstances, making for a truly unique historical satire.
