Movies and TvShows featuring "spartacus-character" theme.

In 73 B.C. during the last century of the Roman Republic, thousands of people are born enslaved to either the privileged class known as patricians or the wealthiest of the commoners, known as plebeians. One exceptionally strong slave in the rock mines of Libya, a Thracian named Spartacus, is regularly whipped for displaying his intelligence and pride. Spartacus survives brutal training as a gladiator and leads a violent revolt against the decadent Roman Republic, as the ambitious Crassus seeks to gain power by crushing the uprising. Along the way, Spartacus forms a united front that can sweep across the country, freeing other slaves and eventually escape over the sea to their homelands. However, their journey is not easy as they face challenges, betrayals, and sacrifices. Will Spartacus and his army be able to achieve their freedom and overcome the powerful Roman Empire?

In ancient Rome, Spartacus, a former Thracian gladiator, is enslaved and forced to fight in the arena. However, he leads a revolt along with other gladiators, aiming to overthrow the Roman Republic. The show follows the rise and fall of Spartacus and his efforts to liberate himself and others from slavery.

The story of legendary hero Spartacus comes alive through a motion comic and companion piece for the TV series.

The second adaptation of Raffaello Giovagnoli's novel comes at a time when Italy really started pumping out their epic films with the longer running times, expensive sets and lavish production values.

It began with a breakout from a prison kitchen; it became a civil war. Based on the latest research, this dramatised documentary reveals how around 70 men armed themselves with kitchen knives and roasting spits, and chose a man called Spartacus as their leader. People came to join them in their thousands, and within a matter of months, the fugitive band was an army 100,000 strong. Strong enough to threaten the destruction of Rome. This film tells the story of a modern, dirty war of propaganda, psychological warfare and guerrilla tactics fought two thousand years ago. And it reveals the true character of Spartacus, a ruthless and charismatic leader very different to the figure created by two thousand years of myth-making.
