Set in ancient Egypt under Roman rule, "Agora" follows astronomer Hypatia (Oscar winner Rachel Weisz, "The Mummy") as she leads a few disciples fighting to save the wisdom of the ancient world. Among these disciples are two men vying for her heart: the privileged Orestes (Golden Globe nominee Oscar Isaac, "Star Wars") and a young slave Davus (Max Minghella, "The Social Network").
