BBC - Warriors (2009) Part 6 Attila the Hun

Warriors

Lavish, all-action dramatic spectacles based on the lives of six men who shaped the world around them, either by sheer force of will, genius, courage or even greed. Warriors describes powerful, magnetic personalities who have earned their place in the world's imagination, all prepared to die for what they believed in - whether it was God or gold, the pursuit of power and glory or a magnificent ideal. From Spartacus, the gladiator who brought Rome to its knees, this series combines absorbing drama with CGI to ask what were the motives, the strengths and even the weaknesses that drove these men to achieve what no one else had dared. The amazing stories of Napoleon, Hernan Cortez, Attila the Hun, Tokugawa Ieyasu, and Richard the Lionheart are also included.

Part 6: Attila the Hun

Attila’s name has passed into history of one of the most feared warriors of all time, synonymous with burning ambition and vengeful savagery. Attila the Hun's decision – a decision that few would make after a humiliating defeat – to attack Rome itself would be something the Roman Empire would never recover from.
