A reconstruction of the final events leading to one of the worst natural disasters to strike the ancient world. Drawing on contemporary accounts and recent archaeological discoveries, this drama tells the real story of what happened, including the exact cause of the deaths of the 5,000 townspeople. In the year 79 A.D., the ancient city of Pompeii was transformed from a thriving community to a wasteland in little more than a day when the massive volcano Mount Vesuvius erupted, raining billions of tons of lava, stone, and ash upon the nearby city.
