Attila (also known as Attila the Hun in the UK) is a 2001 American television miniseries set during the Migration Period in Europe.

Synopsis

The narrative of the miniseries primarily follows Attila the Hun (reigned 434–453) during his rise to power, violent unification of the Hunnic tribes, and subsequent campaigns, first against the Eastern Roman Empire, and later against the Visigoths and the Western Roman Empire.

A parallel narrative follows Roman general Flavius Aetius, Attila's primary antagonist, who works vigorously to keep the Western Roman Empire intact despite factional politics, a weak emperor, and a steady stream of barbarian invasions.
