Vesuvius: Deadly Fury

 

     

 

 

 

With the aid of high-powered visual effects and amazing archaeological findings, this documentary chronicles the last 24 hours in the life of Pompeii. Remains of 300 citizens trapped in beach-side crypts to which they fled during the eruption provide evidence to reconstruct local life in the First Century after Christ. Computer graphics recreate Vesuvius' deadly eruption, in 79 A.D.
