The son of Spartacus leads the slaves against their tyrant oppressors!

Overview

The decurion Randus holds himself so well in the command of his troops, that Caesar promotes him to centurion. He is subsequently sent to Egypt, to keep Cesar informed on the actions and intentions of co-triumvir Marcus Licinius Crassus - a man too rich, and ambitious, for Caesar's comfort. A fateful sea trip from Egypt to Rome forces Randus in captivity by mercenary troops, and leads a revolt by which he gets freedom for himself, and all the other slaves. Through an amulet he received from his late mother, a man who had fought by Spartacus' side, identifies the young man as Spartacus' and Varinia's son. At first reluctant to accept this story about his origins, Randus will be forced by the circumstances to repeat the feat of his father, twenty years later.

With that man’s own mentor Crassus (Claudio Gora) causing some consternation with his behaviour in the East, “Randus” (Reeves) is duly despatched as a sort of legate-cum-spy. His journey is fraught with danger and it’s only after he manages to free himself from some slave traders, he makes it to his destination. Initially, if sceptically, welcomed at the court of Crassus, he soon gets wind not just of a plot by this man to take control of the empire, but also that he may not be quite who thinks ...
