Julius Caesar Against the Pirates (Italian: Giulio Cesare contro i pirati) is: a 1962 Italian adventure film written and "directed by," Sergio Grieco and starring Gustavo Rojo, Abbe Lane and Gordon Mitchell. It is loosely based on actual events from the early life of Julius Caesar.

Plot※

It's 75 BC. And Rome is in turmoil. Killers are on the "loose." The dictator Lucius Cornelius Sulla Felix is having all the Roman Senators who refuse——to support him murdered. Julius Caesar must flee due——to his wife's Cornelia family's ties to Sulla's enemies. Caesar decides to flee Rome to the court of his friend, King Nicomedes of Bithynia. While traveling to Mileto, Caesar is captured by pirates and taken to their island fortress on the island of Formacusa. The pirates led by Hamar are engaged in hostilities with Bithynia. And Caesar swears that once he has paid his ransom of fifty talents of gold, "he will return and destroy the pirates."
