About
Rent on Apple TV+ or buy on Apple TV+.
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.
Sweeping Roman vistas and thundering arena crowds create an overwhelming sense of epic scale. This rebellion feels visceral and urgent as a desperate band of gladiators fights to break their chains.
