SPARTACUS
"I Am Spartacus!" Classic Movie Quote Magnet

A flat 1.25" fridge magnet with a quote from the classic Stanley Kubrick 1960 film, "Spartacus."

"Spartacus" was directed by Stanley Kubrick based on a screenplay by Dalton Trumbo, who was blacklisted at the time. 

In the first century BC, the Roman empire is decadent and dependent on slave labor.  A slave gladiator, Spartacus, leads a rebellion in the arena and escapes with his fellow slaves.  Crossing the countryside in search of escape from the empire, more slaves join them and they grow to the size of an army - an army that is a possible threat to the powers that be in Rome.  An action-packed, deeply emotional drama.

The film starred Kirk Douglas, Laurence Olivier, Jean Simmons, Charles Laughton, Peter Ustinov,John Gavin, Nina Foch, John Ireland, John Hoyt, Tony Curtis, and Herbert Lom.  The film was released at 184 minutes long in theaters, then later restored to 197 minutes in 1991.

(SPOILER)

After Spartacus' army is trapped, the survivors are offered their lives (as slaves) if they will identify Spartacus among them.  Every man stands and proclaims, "I am Spartacus!" and the real Spartacus' cry is lost in the maelstrom of noise.

(END SPOILER)

"Spartacus" was also a 2004 miniseries and a 2010 television series.

Stick this magnet to your slave chains, your gladiator helmet, or your metal bathtub!
