Spartacus is 196 minutes in length and stars Laurence Olivier, Kirk Douglas, and Tony Curtis.

Stanley Kubrick directed this epic saga based on ancient historical events. A vagabond slave-army led by an ex-gladiator, Spartacus (Kirk Douglas) threatens the very sovereignty of Rome. This film has everything, including a wonderfully funny (and Oscar-winning) performance from Peter Ustinov as the cowardly owner of a gladiator school.

Laurence Olivier, Charles Laughton, Jean Simmons and Tony Curtis round out a superb cast.
