Goran Visnjic (ER) stars in Spartacus, based on the epic tale of one man's leadership during one of history's most legendary fights for freedom. In 72 B.C., a time when the Roman Empire's brutal force was far-reaching, each conquered country meant new slaves to do the bidding of their Roman masters. Sold into slavery as a young boy after witnessing his father's murder, Spartacus eventually grew to lead a slave revold against Rome's powerful generals and politicians. The profound impact of Spartacus' challenge to the Roman Empire in the name of freedom was felt for years to come.
