The Throne of Fire ( Italian: Il trono di fuoco) is a 1983 Italian film directed by Franco Prosperi, starring Sabrina Siani and Pietro Torrisi. [3] The film is among the peplums of the 1980s to feature a woman as the central character, along with Red Sonja, Hundra and Barbarian Queen. [4]
Parts of Throne of Fire were shot at Bracciano in Rome with interiors shot at De Paolis Studios and Elios studios in Rome. [2] The film reuses the village raid sequence from the 1982 film Barbarian Master. [2]
The Throne of Fire was released on 17 June 1983 in Italy and on 5 June 1986 in the United States. [1]
In his overview of 1980s action films, Daniel R. Budnik described the film as a " Conan rip-off from Italy" that was closer to "peplum from the late 1950s" and had a similar "meandering feel" that the films of that era had. [5]
