Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Fury of Achilles (L'Ira di Achille) stars Steve Reeves lookalike Gordon Mitchell in the title role. It's the traditional Greeks vs. Trojans story, with Achilles avoiding extermination due to his seeming invulnerability. After a number of triumphs (many of them drawn from other Greek legends), Achilles is vanquished, due to his fabled heel. Jacques Bergerac also stars in this extravagant sword 'n' sandal piece.
