The rebellious Thracian Spartacus, born and raised a slave, is sold to Gladiator trainer Batiatus. After weeks of being trained to kill for the arena, Spartacus turns on his owners and leads the other slaves in rebellion. As the rebels move from town to town, their numbers swell as escaped slaves join their ranks. Under the leadership of Spartacus, they make their way to southern Italy, where they will cross the sea and return to their homes.

It’s a very good film for 1960. It looks great and love the production design. But it is inaccurate.

Classic Roman empire epic with a brilliant performance by Kirk Douglas as Spartacus

Kubrick has never made a bad movie. That being said this is pretty cut and dry, pretty “safe” for him but pretty great regardless.

The most non-Kubrick film of Stanley Kubrick, which combines Kubrick's special look and popular epic films of the fifties.

Classic movie. It was the Gladiator before there was a Gladiator movie that revitalized the genre

It’s very Ben-Hur inspired, but Douglas is great & the production quality & scale is still impressive to this day. Heartbreaking ending.
