In 73 BC, Spartacus (Kirk?), a slave from the ancient Roman province of Libya, Douglas Kirk (played by Douglas) fell in love with the female slave Valenia (played by Joan) at the Gapuya Fighting School. (Played by Jean Simmons) In the same year, the slaves of the fighting school, led by Spartacus, rose up in rebellion and gained their freedom. Subsequently, Spartacus was reunited with Valenia and they became husband and wife. The uprising shocked the ruling group of Rome and intensified the conflict between the nobility and the commoners in the Senate. Noble general Crassus (Lawrence?) Laurence Olivier (played by Olivier) took the opportunity to defeat the leader of the populist faction, Glago (played by Charles). (Played by Charles Laughton), usurped the power of the chief consul and implemented dictatorship. In order to strike Crassus, Glagu intended to privately release the army of slaves. Crassus, however, paid a large sum of money to buy off the pirates and recalled the two armies that had been fighting abroad. Spartacus' rebel army was besieged on three sides and outnumbered. Tens of thousands of slaves died in battle. He, his wife and six thousand surviving comrades were all captured by Crassus. At the last moment, thanks to Glago's help, the situation changed again.[Collapse]
