MasadaBy Wikipedia
Masada was the name of television miniseries
that aired on four consecutive nights on ABC in April 1981. Advertised by
the network as an "ABC Novel for Television", it was a
fictionalized account of the siege of the Masada citadel by the Roman
Empire. The miniseries starred Peter O'Toole, Peter Strauss, and Barbara
Carrera. O'Toole was nominated for an Emmy Award for his performance.
Masada was filmed on location at the actual site of the ancient
fortress. Remains of a ramp, created during the filming to simulate the
ramp built by the Romans to take the fortress, can still be seen at the
site.
