Watch The Ten Gladiators

(1963) Roger Browne, Dan Vadis, Susan Paget, Margaret Taylor. This was the first title in a very popular sword and sandal trilogy, yet it was most unusual in that the two follow-up films, Spartacus and the Ten Gladiators and Triumph of the Ten Gladiators (both available from Sinister) are actually prequels. A group of daring gladiators is mistaken for a notorious band of hooded zealots. They are captured by Nero's troops and later scheduled to fight to death in the arena! Well done sword and sandal thrills. Color. 16mm.

The Ten Gladiators is a 1963 drama with a runtime of 1 hour and 40 minutes. It has received mostly poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 4.4.
