Spartacus and the 10 Gladiators is a 1964 Italian-made action film directed by Nick Nostro, starring Dan Vadis, Helga Line, and Ivano Staccioli. Set in ancient Rome, it follows the story of Spartacus, a former gladiator who leads a group of ten gladiators to Janiculum, where they plan to fight against the tyranny and oppression of the Roman Empire.

The film begins with Spartacus, played by Dan Vadis, narrowly escaping from a group of Roman soldiers. After being taken in by some rebels, he learns that the Emperor, who is living in exile on Capri Island, has sent his most trusted general, Marcus Crassus, to Rome to restore order and crush any rebellion. Realizing that the only way to bring down the Roman Empire is to start a full-scale rebellion, Spartacus sets out to gather ten of the greatest gladiators in Rome to join him in his quest.

The ten gladiators include: Marcus, played by Jacques Sernas, a skilled fighter who saves Spartacus from certain death; Otho, played by Mimmo Palmara, a brave warrior who is adept at using a javelin; Lucilius, played by Rubén Rojo, a charismatic leader who is skilled in hand-to-hand combat; and Scipio, played by Niksa Stefanini, who is an expert in sword fighting.

Together, Spartacus and his ten gladiators embark on a journey that takes them through the heart of Rome, where they encounter a series of challenges and obstacles. Along the way, they fight against all odds, battling their way through the ranks of the Roman army to reach their ultimate goal: the Emperor's palace on Capri Island.

Throughout the film, there are numerous epic battle scenes, with the ten gladiators fighting against hordes of Roman soldiers, in the style of classic sword-and-sandal films from the 1960s. There are also moments of drama and romance, as Spartacus develops a relationship with Diana, played by Helga Line, the wife of one of the gladiators.

While the film is loosely based on the life of Spartacus, it does take some liberties with historical accuracy, as is common in many films of this genre. However, with its stunning cinematography, pulse-pounding action sequences, and strong performances from the cast, Spartacus and the 10 Gladiators remains a cult classic among fans of Italian cinema and the sword-and-sandal genre.
