About this movie

Cornel Wilde plays Omar Khayyam, the legendary Persian soldier, mathematician, astronomer, poet, and one of history's most famous military strategists. Using his knowledge of chemistry, geology, and ancient Greek warfare devices, Khayyam crushes a monstrous conspiracy against the Shah and the Empire by setting loose the forces of nature in a spectacular highlight of the film.
