THE DACIANS is a well-mounted late-stage peplum movie made in Romania, of all places. It has a surprisingly handsome budget and plenty of action to see the plot through. The story has the Romans playing the antagonists and the Dacians the heroes of the hour, trying to defend their kingdom against superior forces. Although there are no token names in the cast, the quality of the action speaks for itself here. There are hundreds of extras and some excellent epic-feeling action set-pieces, with a siege taking pride of place. This is a little-known film that nonetheless holds its own against the bigger-budgeted Italian epics.
