У фільмі розповідається про життя фараона Рамсеса XIII, відважного воїна й палкого закоханого. Фараони вже не були всесильними володарями, скарбниця порожня. Кохання молодого фараона до двох жінок не принесло йому щастя. Його син, народжений від єврейки Сари, не мав права спадкувати трон, жриця Кама не мала права на плотське кохання. Утім, головна його пристрасть — ненависть до всемогутніх жерців, фактичних володарів Єгипту, що накопичили неймовірне багатство. Наймогутніший з них — найвищий жрець Герігор. Але смерть чекала на всіх, хто піде проти жерців.
