Here, the film omits any homosexuality (per censorship at the time) aside from it being implied with Bera and her handmaid.
Adaptational Villainy: The sins of Sodom and Gomorrah are only vaguely described in the Bible. In Genesis, he offers them instead of his guests to the Sodomite mob for rape. Lot is also portrayed as very protective with his daughters. This was ubiquitous among Middle Eastern cultures then. In the Bible, they display no such sentiments, and own slaves themselves (not Lot personally, but Ahraman does, along with Hebrews generally). Adaptational Heroism: Lot and the Hebrews are portrayed as despising slavery, saying it's an abomination (even freeing slaves where they can). This leads to Lot asking for the cities to be spared if he can find fifty righteous men, a figure he ends up bargaining down to ten. Accomplice by Inaction: When Lot balks at the thought of innocent people being purged alongside the guilty in the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, the angelic messengers tell him that the innocent will be punished for not speaking out against the guilty.

To seal the compact, Lot is given Ildith (Pier Angeli), Bera's personal slave. In exchange, the Hebrews will pay an annual tribute of grain and aid in the defence of Sodom against the Elamites.
Lot persuades Bera to sell the Hebrews the land on the opposite side of the River Jordan to Sodom, despite warnings that said land is barren and will be hostile to their attempts to grow crops and raise livestock. The lives of the Sodomites are interrupted by the arrival of a tribe of Hebrews, led by Lot (Stewart Granger), the nephew of the Hebrew leader Abraham. Astaroth is conspiring with the neighbouring Elamites to overthrow Bera and rule Sodom himself. The twin cities of Sodom and Gomorrah have grown wealthy from their salt mines, but the wealth is built on the backs of brutal slave labour, and the citizens have become decadent and corrupt, none more so than Queen Bera (Anouk Aimée) and her brother, Prince Astaroth (Stanley Baker).
