About the event
Spartacus is a 1960 epic historical drama directed by Stanley Kubrick, starring Kirk Douglas as the titular Thracian slave. The film chronicles the Third Servile War, a massive slave uprising against the Roman Republic. After escaping a gladiator school, Spartacus leads a growing army of former slaves, seeking freedom. Their rebellion threatens the power of Rome, forcing the ambitious General Crassus (Laurence Olivier) to lead the legions against them. The film is celebrated for its grand scale, powerful performances, and iconic moments, including the famous "I am Spartacus!" scene where the captured slaves defy their captors to protect their leader. It stands as a timeless story of rebellion and the fight for human dignity.
