The original gladiator now in a 2-disc re-mastered Special Edition! Completely restored in stunning Super Technirama with new packaging to appeal to collectors and fans of the film.

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. Meanwhile, in Rome, the slave revolt has become a deciding factor in the power struggle between two senators: the republican Gracchus and the militarist Crassus, each of whom sees the fortunes of the rebellion as the key to his own rise to power or humiliating defeat. As the two statesmen attempt to aid, hinder and manipulate the rebels for their own benefit, Spartacus and his followers press on toward freedom.

Epic par excellence Spartacus is director Stanley Kubrick at his most accessible and swaggering star Kirk Douglas at his most humane. Based on the historical character Spartacus a gladiator who lead a slave rebellion that rocked the Roman world this is a rich and resonant film. Filled with strong visual imagery, well drawn characters and a timeless, compelling story.
