- While holidaying in Rhodes, an Athenian war hero becomes involved in two plots to overthrow the tyrannical king: one from Rhodian patriots, and the other from sinister Phoenician agents.
- A Greek military hero named Darios visits his uncle in Rhodes in the year 280 BC. Rhodes has just finished constructing an enormous colossus of Apollo to guard its harbor and is planning an alliance with Phoenicia which would be hostile to Greece. Darios flirts with the beautiful Diala, daughter of the statue's mastermind, while becoming involved with a group of rebels headed by Peliocles. These rebels seek to overthrow the tyrannical King Serse as does Serse's evil second-in-command, Thar. The rebels' revolt seems to fail, with Peliocles and his men being captured and forced to provide amusement in the local arena, but an earthquake eventually upsets, not only the Colossus in the harbor, but the balance of power in Rhodes as well.—Wiki
- After the completion of the port's protector, Colossus, a magnificent brass statue of God Apollo and the towering seventh Wonder of the World, the Greek war hero, Darius, visits the island of 280 B.C. Rhodes in the Mediterranean Sea. To celebrate a new era, King Serse has organised a lavish commemorative party, unbeknownst to him, however, that a rebellion is brewing, and on top of that, his duplicitous minister, Thar, has struck a deal with the Phoenicians. Will his despicable plan bear fruit? Can Darius lend a hand, especially now that everyone thinks that he is a spy?—Nick Riganas
