Film DescriptionWith the 1950s sword-and-sandal epic threatening to get bogged down in set pieces and fine speeches, Stanley Kubrick's star-studded, historical epic was a tonic. Taking over from veteran Anthony Mann, Kubrick tells the tale of the Roman slave-gladiator Spartacus (Kirk Douglas), who leads the slaves of the Roman Empire in a rebellion against their masters. The ranks quickly swell as the slave army makes its way across Italy towards the coast. But the despotic Roman senator Crassus (Laurence Olivier) is determined to quell the revolt for his own selfish ends, and the stage is thus set for a tremendous battle. The film features a terrific revolt sequence and a dynamic performance from Douglas in the lead. Listen closely and you may just be able to tell where the soundtrack was lost, with Anthony Hopkins now giving a superb imitation of Olivier's distinctive tones.
