Director Robert Aldrich does a masterful job of re-creating the scriptural story of the original sin cities. When some of his followers succumb to the decadent pleasures of the Helamites-and God threatens to wreak havoc on the entire valley-Lot tries to find a way to deliver his wife, Ildith (Pier Angeli), and his people to salvation. Once there, they become entangled with the Helamites, who are reveling in the sin, sex, scandal, and depravity of the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. Stewart Granger stars as Lot, the biblical sage who leads the Hebrews to the valley of Jordan.
