The reconstructed version of the 1960 epic directed by Stanley Kubrick, complete with restored footage. This powerful film classic won four Academy Awards® and stars Kirk Douglas as the bold gladiator slave.

Spartacus is a rebellious slave purchased by Lentulus Batiatus, owner of a school for gladiators. For the entertainment of corrupt Roman senator Marcus Licinius Crassus, Batiatus' gladiators are to stage a fight to the death. On the night before the event, the enslaved trainees are "rewarded" with female companionship. Spartacus' companion for the evening is Varinia, a slave from Brittania. When Spartacus later learns that Varinia has been sold to Crassus, he leads 78 fellow gladiators in revolt. Word of the rebellion spreads like wildfire, and soon Spartacus' army numbers in the hundreds. Escaping to join his cause is Varinia, who has fallen in love with Spartacus, and another of Crassus' house slaves, the sensitive Antoninus. The revolt becomes the principal cog in the wheel of a political struggle between Crassus and a more temperate senator named Gracchus.
