Spartacus

Spartacus

1960

Though the film itself is a relatively straightforward historical epic and less reflective of Kubrick's distinct style, it does defy tradition within its broader story of the slave Spartacus and his violent uprising against the decadent Roman empire.

Electrifying Excitement!
