Stars: Kirk Douglas, Laurence Olivier,
Tony Curtis, John Gavin, Charles Laughton, Jean Simmons, Peter Ustinov
Director: Stanley Kubrick
Stanley Kubrick directed a cast of screen legends - including Kirk Douglas as the indomitable gladiator
that led a Roman slave revolt - in the sweeping epic that defined a genre and ushered in a new
Hollywood era. The assured acting, lush Technicolor cinematography, bold costumes and visceral fight
sequences won Spartacus four Oscars®; the blend of politics and sexual suggestion scandalized
audiences. Today Kubrick's controversial classic, the first film to openly defy Hollywood's blacklist,
remains a landmark of cinematic artistry and history.
