Epic Action War Adventure Historical Biopic Drama
Kubrick follows the slave Spartacus who, enraged at one point with the notion of being forced to fight to death for entertainment, decides to lead a violent revolt against the decadent Roman Republic.
Kubrick raised the film from a melodramatic spectacle to an intriguing character study with complex relationships and political machinations . Performance by Kirk Douglas is notable.
