Legendary muscleman Atlas in Russia? No, Atlas Against the Czar is actually the story of a superhero vs. a giant, goliath-like opponent. And Atlas (Kirk Morris) is really Maciste, another legendary muscleman. Gloria Milland is the bosom-heaving heroine in this typical Italian pec-flexer. Originally titled Maciste Against the Czar, the film assumed a third family identity when it was picked up for American distribution as part of TV's Sons of Hercules series. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Though "Maciste" is a popular muscleman character in Italy, his name doesn't always bring in the crowds in other countries. That's why the US title of the Italian Maciste Against the Czar is Atlas Against the Czar. By any name, the hero is played by Steve Reeves clone Kirk Morris. Maciste's task in this one is to fend off thousands of Russian soldiers, all for the love of princess Gloria Milland. Further confusing the Maciste/Atlas issue is the fact that Maciste Against the Czar was released to television as part of the Sons of Hercules package. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
