Dopo la vittoria di Annibale a Canne nel 216, il console Publio Cornelio Scipione prepara una spedizione contro Cartagine per allontanare dall'Italia il temibile condottiero africano. Sbarcato in Africa, Scipione si riunisce all'esercito dell'alleato Massinissa e offre a Siface, re dei Numidi, il ruolo di mediatore tra Roma e Cartagine. Ma Siface, spinto dalla bella moglie Sofonisba, rifiuta. Scipione attacca allora il campo dei Numidi e cattura il re, mentre la regina riesce a farsi sposare da Massinissa. Quando il condottiero romano intima al suo alleato di consegnargli la donna, questa, per evitare di essere fatta prigioniera, si avvelena. Massinissa diventa quindi re dei Numidi. Scipione si avvicina a Cartagine, che richiama quindi in propria difesa Annibale. È il 202: il condottiero cartaginese, tornato in patria, si scontra con i romani nella piana di Zama, in Numidia, e, nonostante possa disporre di elefanti e truppe addestrate, deve soccombere di fronte alla forza dell'esercito avversario. Fatto finalmente ritorno in patria, Scipione, che viene accolto tra i festeggiamenti e riceve l'appellativo de "l'Africano", si reca subito nella sua villa di Literno per poter riabbracciare la moglie e i figli. In 1937, "Scipione l'africano" was to be Mussolini's propaganda masterpiece of nationalism. It turned out to be quite entertaining, and much less of a propaganda story that Mussolini had hoped for. It was supposed to show the glory of battle & victory! In many scenes it shows clearly the barbarism of war and its aftermath. Nothing was less gloryfying! The battle scenes are very realistic between Scipione and his roman legions and Hannibal & his carthagianians! The scenes are gory and noe for the squemish. Animal lovers beware of the elephants being attacked by the romans. It is believed that during shooting of this battle scene, that two elephants had to be destroyed. For the true lover of correctly staged battle scenes, this is a must. (from IMDB) ONLY KNOWN COPY ! reflections due to the flash
