上映于1919年的剧情《巴比伦亡国记》，该片是由D.W. Griffith执导，等主演，作为一部优秀的剧情，讲述了After the relatively low box office takings of 'Intolerance', D. W. Griffith would revisit his epic film three years later by releasing two of the film's interlocking stories as standalone features, with some new additional footage. The first of the two was 'The Fall of Babylon', which depicts the conflict between Prince Belshazzar of Babylon and Cyrus the Great of Persia.
