Eleazar and his followers make their headquarters on top of the mountain fortress of Masada. From there they conduct raids on Roman occupied villages in the south of Judea. These <a href="/wiki/Guerrilla_warfare" title="Guerrilla warfare">guerrilla attacks</a> threaten the credibility of the declared Roman victory. </p><p>The commanding general of the <a href="/wiki/Legio_X_Fretensis" title="Legio X Fretensis">10th Legion</a>, Cornelius Flavius Silva, arranges a meeting with Eleazar to negotiate a truce. Returning to Rome, Silva's hopes to implement a truce in Judea are quashed by the <a href="/wiki/Vespasian" title="Vespasian">Emperor Vespasian</a>, because of political pressures in the <a href="/wiki/Roman_Senate" title="Roman Senate">Roman Senate</a>. Silva is sent back to Judea after securing the services of veteran Siege Commander Rubrius Gallus. Silva is informed that his second in command, General Marcus Quadratus, and Head Tribune Merovius, are spies for the emperor's political enemy. While Silva is still in Rome, through the treachery of these two men, the truce is violently broken by the Romans. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Part_II">Part II</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Masada_(miniseries)&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Part II"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Learning of the breaking of the truce upon his return from Rome, Silva marches the 5,000 men of the 10th Legion to the foot of Masada and lays a siege to the apparently impregnable fortress. He directs Quadratus and Merovius on a suicidal assault of the fortress in order to remove them from his forces and make them an example to any others who share their political leanings. Rubrius Gallus directs that a ramp be built to almost the summit of the mountain, intent on breaking through the Masada walls with the aid of a 50-foot (15.24 m) siege tower that is being constructed out of sight of the rebels. </p><p>When Eleazar successfully attacks the Roman soldiers building the ramp with catapulted stones, Silva quickly rounds up hundreds of Jews from the surrounding area to use as slaves to continue the work, believing correctly that Eleazar will not attack fellow Jews. This makes Eleazar change his tactics to <a href="/wiki/Psychological_warfare" title="Psychological warfare">psychological warfare</a>, allowing the heat of the sun and revealing the surplus of water on Masada to demoralize the Roman troops. </p><p>He acts to capitalize on the Romans' belief in reading the future from the entrails of sacrificed goats, leading a party through the Roman sentries at night to feed the goats maggots, knowing that their discovery during the rituals will be seen as a bad omen. Eleazar's problems are further compounded by his own religious doubts and opposition from the more pacifist groups on Masada. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Part_III">Part III</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Masada_(miniseries)&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Part III"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The political opportunist Pomponius Falco arrives and under the authority of the Emperor Vespasian relieves Silva as legion commander. Intent on ending the siege quickly through the use of terror, Falco orders Jewish slaves to be killed one by one, by catapulting them into the side of the mountain, until Eleazar surrenders. Eleazar, a religious skeptic, runs to the Masada synagogue and calls to God to stop the killing. </p><p>Revolted by Falco's barbaric actions, Silva forcibly takes back his command, stops the catapulting, and orders Falco placed under arrest. The cessation of Falco's terror is seen by the Zealots as a response to Eleazar's praying and affirmation of his leadership to them. Rubrius Gallus is killed by a Masadan arrow as he carries out measurements on the siege ramp, only living long enough to confirm his plans to his second in command. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Part_IV">Part IV</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Masada_(miniseries)&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Part IV"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>As the ramp nears completion, Eleazar faces the fact that the final confrontation with the Romans is not far off. The Zealots break into Herod's Armory and begin to prepare for what they believe will be a straightforward storming of the fortress walls by the Romans. When the ramp is complete, the Romans wheel out the armoured siege tower and battering-ram. Eleazar then realizes that he had underestimated Silva's strategy. As the tower begins moving up the ramp, Eleazar has his people build "an inner wall that will absorb the blows of the ram and not shatter." </p><p>Made from wooden beams from Herod's Palace roof and packed with dirt, they finish it just as the tower reaches the top of the ramp. The Romans quickly break through the stone walls of the fortress, but the ram does nothing against the improvised inner wall. As the wall is made partly of wood, Silva orders his men to set fire to it. Deducing that it would take all night for the wall to burn through, Silva has his men stand down. The rest of the night is tense for both sides, as the fitful wind may as easily spread the blaze to the siege tower as burn down the inner wall. The next day, the Romans break into the fortress, only to discover that Eleazar and his people had all committed suicide during the night. </p><p>The closing line is said by a dispirited and despondent Silva, who mourns all that has been hoped and planned and lost by both sides whilst fighting for "a rock, in the middle of a wasteland, on the shore of a poisoned sea...". </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Cast">Cast</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Masada_(miniseries)&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Cast"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <dl><dt>Starring</dt></dl> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1184024115">.mw-parser-output .div-col{margin-top:0.3em;column-width:30em}.mw-parser-output .div-col-small{font-size:90%}.mw-parser-output .div-col-rules{column-rule:1px solid #aaa}.mw-parser-output .div-col dl,.mw-parser-output .div-col ol,.mw-parser-output .div-col ul{margin-top:0}.mw-parser-output .div-col li,.mw-parser-output .div-col dd{page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid-column}</style><div class="div-col" style="column-width: 25em;min-width: min(25em, 100%);"> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Peter_O%27Toole" title="Peter O'Toole">Peter O'Toole</a> as <a href="/wiki/Lucius_Flavius_Silva" title="Lucius Flavius Silva">Lucius Flavius Silva</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Peter_Strauss" title="Peter Strauss">Peter Strauss</a> as <a href="/wiki/Eleazar_Ben_Yair" class="mw-redirect" title="Eleazar Ben Yair">Eleazar Ben Yair</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Barbara_Carrera" title="Barbara Carrera">Barbara Carrera</a> as Sheva</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Nigel_Davenport" title="Nigel Davenport">Nigel Davenport</a> as <a href="/wiki/Mucianus" class="mw-redirect" title="Mucianus">Mucianus</a> <small>(<abbr title="episode">ep.</abbr> 1)</small></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Alan_Feinstein_(actor)" title="Alan Feinstein (actor)">Alan Feinstein</a> as Aaron</li> <li>Giulia Pagano as Miriam</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Anthony_Quayle" title="Anthony Quayle">Anthony Quayle</a> as Rubrius Gallus</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Denis_Quilley" title="Denis Quilley">Denis Quilley</a> as General Marcus Quadratus <small>(<abbr title="episodes">eps.</abbr> 1–2)</small></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Paul_L._Smith" title="Paul L.
