Special Effects
72 год до Рождества Христова, эпоха жестоких завоеваний и безраздельного владения античным миром. Захваченные имперскими центурионами территории служили для римских хозяев источником получения все новых и новых рабов. Одному из них суждено было бросить вызов машине порабощения. Проданный в рабство еще ребенком Спартак прошел тяжелый путь лишений и истязаний, который только закалил его и сделал великим воином. Этот человек стал предводителем грандиозного восстания рабов, вошедшего в историю человечества.
