Le sette folgori di Assur (English title: War Gods of Babylon) is a 1962 Italian peplum colour[1] film set in ancient Mesopotamia.

The film anachronistically portrays as contemporaries several figures who historically lived hundreds of years apart.

Mirra, a young girl whose parents were killed by the Assyrians, was found by Zoroaster, messenger of the gods, near her slaughtered people.

Sardanapalus loves her too and realizing that this passion could create discord with his brother appoints Shammash king of Babylon and sends him there with Mirra.

Eventually Sardanapulus offends the gods, resulting in a divine flood that destroys Assyria.
