The film opens with Spartacus, a Thracian warrior who has deserted the Roman army to protect his village from a rival Thracian force. He is captured, condemned to death, and forced to kill his best friend in a brutal, bloody arena. This traumatic event breaks his spirit and sets him on his new path.
Modern media increasingly blends traditionally separate genres into hybrid forms:
Marcus London, a British-born actor and director, recognized that the franchise's blend of historical drama and raw sensuality was a perfect match for an adult adaptation. Alongside Tony DeSergio and Tommy Gunn, London formed London-Gunn Films and secured a deal with Wicked Pictures to produce what they envisioned as a blockbuster pornography film. The result was a film that would eschew the cheap, formulaic "parody" label in favor of something far more ambitious.
