Apraksts latviski:
Filmas sižets balstās uz leģendu par karavadoni Gneju Marciju Koriolānu, kurš dzīvoja Romā piektajā gadsimtā pirms mūsu ēras. Filmas darbība no Senās Romas pārnesta mūsdienās, tāpēc „Koriolāna” galvenie varoņi zobenu vietā tur rokās automātus.

Apraksts angliski:
The citizens of Rome are hungry. Coriolanus, the hero of Rome, a great soldier and a man of inflexible self-belief despises the people. His extreme views ignite a mass riot. Rome is bloody. Manipulated and out-maneuvered by politicians and even his own mother Volumnia, Coriolanus is banished from Rome. He offers his life or his services to his sworn enemy Tullus Aufidius.
