Julius Caesar stands at the apex of Roman power, yet whispers of conspiracy echo through the Senate. A soothsayer's cryptic warning—"Beware the Ides of March"—plants seeds of unease in Caesar's mind, though his wife Calpurnia's nightmares of his statue spouting blood prove more persuasive than omens. Brutus, Caesar's trusted friend and a man of principle, finds himself torn between loyalty and republican ideals when the ambitious Cassius manipulates him into joining a cabal of senators determined to prevent Caesar's coronation. On the fateful Ides of March, Caesar enters the Senate house, dismissing all warnings. The conspirators strike, and Caesar falls, famously uttering "Et tu, Brute?" as his closest friend delivers the final blow. The assassination, meant to preserve the Republic, instead unleashes chaos. Antony, Caesar's loyal ally, transforms grief into political weaponry, turning the mob against the conspirators through an masterfully delivered funeral oration. Civil war erupts, and the idealistic Brutus, haunted by his deed, faces his reckoning on the battlefield.
