Plot Synopsis: “SPARTACUS: BLOOD AND SAND” was inspired by the actual slave of the Roman Republic, who in 73 BC led a slave revolt that grew to more than 120,000 fighters. Torn from his homeland and the woman he loves, Spartacus (Whitfield), a Thracian warrior captured by Romans, is enslaved into a gladiator training school owned by Batiatus (Hannah) and his wife Lucretia (Lawless). He is forced to fight daily for his life against deadly foes, under the brutal whip of trainer Doctore (Mensah). He is condemned to the brutal world of the arena where blood and death are primetime entertainment. But not all battles are fought upon the sands. Treachery, corruption and the allure of sensual pleasures will constantly test him and his masters.
Against all odds, Spartacus’ rebellious instincts, his intense love for his wife Sura (Erin Cummings) and his powerful fighting skills drive him to win a series of near-impossible battles – setting in motion a revolution against the tyranny of Rome. To survive, he must become more than a man, more than a gladiator. He must become a legend.

Street Date: September 21, 2010
Genres: Action, Thriller, TV
Starring: Mark Valley, Chi McBride, Jackie Earle Haley
Plot Synopsis: Fox took a chance on a live action series based on a comic book. It worked beautifully. The twelve episodes are well crafted and brilliantly acted. The plots are outrageous, but it is different from anything on currently. Christopher Chance is played by Mark Valley (Boston Legal). Winston, the head of this secret operative group, is brought to life, sizzling life, by Chi McBride (Boston Public). The odd man out, Guerrero, is given such a mysterious allure by Jackie Earle Haley (various film and television roles). These three form a triad which keeps you guessing week from week about their motivations, their past and their apparent commitment to each other. Guerrero seems to be full of surprises.
