　　剧情：传奇监制罗伯特·埃文斯一生比电影更峰回路转。1956年，金像影后Ｎｏｒｍａ　Ｓｈｅａｒｅｒ邀他合演新作，展开好莱坞生涯。短暂而璀璨的明星风光后，罗伯特·埃文斯欲挑战制片工作，当时的他策划了多部经典电影如《教父》、《殉情记》和《唐人街》等。80年代，罗伯特·埃文斯与老婆艾利离婚，接着有吸毒丑闻，更牵涉入《棉花俱乐部》凶杀案，自此绝迹影圈。90年代他再次出山，重回监制本行之余，撰写的自传亦卖得成行成市，更被搬上银幕拍成本片，证明罗伯特·埃文斯注定要留在电影圈里。
　　点评：你可以说这是一部纪录片，但也可以说它是一部传奇电影，因为片中的主角、好莱坞著名制片人罗伯特·埃文斯的故事完全值得用传奇二字去注释。本片改编自罗伯特·埃文斯的畅销自传小说，布雷特·摩根以平实的手法在银幕上再现了罗伯特·埃文斯的传奇故事，罗伯特·埃文斯自己的旁白让影片显得既真实，又不失趣味。

　　Ancient Worlds is about people and places, politics and economics, art and war, trade and technology, but above all it’s the story of the painful birth and difficult growth of a radical idea first tried and tested some six thousand years ago, and which we are still struggling with today; civilisation. Civilisation has not come easily; it’s something we’ve had to fight hard to achieve, and even harder to maintain, and the greatest threats to it have come from our own talents for destruction. But when we’ve managed to get it right, the benefits have been enormous.
　　When we talk about the ancient world we tend to think of rare and exotic artefacts or the monumental remains of epic architecture; but these are just the empty shells that got left behind when the tide of history turned! The living creatures, the civilisations, that once inhabited these shells were rarely if ever static or stately; they were dynamic, chaotic, and always threatening to spin out of control, because civilisation is based on an improbable idea; that strangers can live and work together in dense urban settings, forging new allegiances that replace the natural ties of family, clan or tribe. It’s an idea we’re still coming to terms with today, but one of the best ways to understand the challenges that are involved is to look at how our ancestors tackled them the first time around.
　　From ancient Iraq to Imperial Rome, Ancient Worlds examines how our ancestors struggled with the levers of religion and politics, art and culture, war and diplomacy, technology and trade in order to keep the complex machinery of their civilisations turning over. Their insights and blind-spots, their breakthroughs and dead ends, their triumphs and disasters are the milestones on the long and winding road that leads directly from their ancient to our modern world.
