Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Though "Maciste" is a popular muscleman character in Italy, his name doesn't always bring in the crowds in other countries. That's why the US title of the Italian Maciste Against the Czar is Atlas Against the Czar. By any name, the hero is played by Steve Reeves clone Kirk Morris. Maciste's task in this one is to fend off thousands of Russian soldiers, all for the love of princess Gloria Milland. Further confusing the Maciste/Atlas issue is the fact that Maciste Against the Czar was released to television as part of the Sons of Hercules package.
