Spartacus

In this gripping historical drama, Goran Višnjić stars as Spartacus, a Thracian slave condemned to labor in the harsh deserts of Egypt, until he's purchased by the obese owner of a Roman gladiator school and gets a new lease on life. As Spartacus gains sympathy within the Roman Senate and leads a slave uprising that threatens Rome's status quo, he makes a powerful enemy in Marcus Lucinius Crassus, who vows to crush the rebellion with personal honor at stake.
