Spartacus background

Spartacus

A former slave turned gladiator sparks a massive rebellion among the downtrodden, taking on the mighty Roman Empire and its oppressive regime.

In ancient Egypt, a Thracian slave named Spartacus is sentenced to a life of labor in the harsh desert. However, his fate changes when he's bought by the owner of a Roman gladiator school. Inspired by the bravery of an Ethiopian warrior named Draba, Spartacus leads a slave uprising that challenges Rome's authority. As he gains support from the Roman Senate, he also earns the wrath of Marcus Lucinius Crassus, who sees it as a personal challenge to crush the rebellion.
