Jahrhunderts sollen das Elend bezeugen, das selbstherrliche Herrscher während vieler Jahrhunderte verursacht haben.

In ancient Babylon, SEMIRAMIDE (Anderson) encourages her lover Assur (Ramey) to murder her husband, King Ninus. Her son, Ninius, disappears, believed dead, and Semiramide rules in her own right. 15 years later, as the opera opens, she is about to announce the name of her successor. Idreno (Olsen) and Assur are the leading candidates for the throne and the hand of Princess Azema (Shin), but Semiramide has taken a fancy to young Arsace (Horne), her victorious military leader who has been summoned back to Babylon. Only the high priest Oroe (Cheek) knows that Arsace is actually Ninius, spirited away to safety after the coup. As the queen announces Arsace as her successor, the ghost of her husband appears from his tomb, demanding that Arsace punish the late king’s murderers... Filmed at New York's Metropolitan Opera, John Copley's production of Rossini's last, longest and most elaborate dramatic opera brings together what many consider the definitive contemporary cast.

"No film may throw ridicule on any religious faith..." So began Article VIII of the Hollywood Production Code, a series of ethical guidelines that for forty years helped the motion picture industry produce many of the greatest and most family-friendly films in history. That was then, however, this is now. A revered "historical" movie quietly takes every opporturnity to lie and twist the facts in order to make Christians appear as backward, foolish hypocrites. An actress jumps at the chance to play a Christ-hating role, saying, "I'm an atheist, so it was a joy." One of Hollywood's most respected directors films a passion play written by a disciple of Friedrich Nietzsche, the father of the "God is dead" movement. Not surprisingly, the movie's Jesus helps crucify people and later confesses that satan is inside him. A media mogul states that "Christianity is a religion for losers."

Um die Hängenden Gärten von Babylon ranken sich viele Mythen. Bisherige Ausgrabungen haben zu keiner Antwort auf die Frage geführt, wo sie genau gelegen haben. Dank der außergewöhnlichen Funde der Wissenschaftlerin Stephanie Dalley kann nun erstmals genau bestimmt werden, an welchem Ort sich die legendären Gärten befanden, wie sie aussahen und wie sie erbaut wurden.

Die Hängenden Gärten von Babylon sind das einzige von sieben Weltwundern der Antike, für das noch kein archäologischer Nachweis gefunden wurde. Für den Dokumentarfilm reiste Stephanie Dalley von der Universität Oxford in eine gefährliche, von Terroranschlägen heimgesuchte Region im Norden des Irak, um Beweise für ihre neue Theorie über den wahren Standort der Gärten zu sammeln. Stephanie Dalley nimmt an, dass die Gärten hundert Jahre früher - also 700 Jahre vor Christus - und von dem assyrischen König Sanherib anstatt von Nebukadnezar II. erbaut wurden.
