Das Historiendrama Seneca von Robert Schwentke beleuchtet das väterliche Verhältnis des Philosophen Seneca (John Malkovich) zum berüchtigten römischen Kaiser Nero (Tom Xander). Der Denker unterrichtete den späteren Imperator seit frühester Kindheit in allen Fragen des Geistes und philosophischer Theorie. Trotzdem wandelt der junge Mann sich zunehmend zum Tyrannen, der sich selbst über alle andere stellt. Irgendwann hat Nero genug von seinem Lehrmeister und erteilt Seneca den Befehl, sich selbst umzubringen. Doch kann dieser den Suizid einfach so ausführen? Oder steckt darin doch noch eine weitere Lektion?
