Before Spartacus struck down his first opponent in the arena, there were many gladiators who passed though the gates onto the sand. In this prequel, the House of Batiatus is on the rise, basking in the glow of its infamous champion Gannicus, whose skill with a sword is matched only by his thirst for wine and women. These are the times a young Batiatus has been waiting for.

A parody of 1950s corporate/industrial films, commissioned by Universal Pictures executives after the studio's purchase by Seagrams, and featuring cameos by many stars and directors.

When the initial Cylon attack against the Twelve Colonies fails to achieve complete extermination of human life as planned, twin Number Ones (Cavils) embedded on Galactica and Caprica must improvise to destroy the human survivors.

《斯巴达克斯：竞技场之神》（Spartacus: God of Arena）实际上就是《斯巴达克斯：血与沙》（Spartacus: Blood And Sand）的前传，在这个Batiatus家族崛起的故事中，Lucy Lawless和John Hannah成为人们关注的焦点，他们在Spartacus成为被俘的色雷斯奴隶前就已经是Batiatus家族的优胜者

In the middle of the outback, a stolen 4WD collides with a transport truck. Two local kids in the car are badly hurt. Someone should have called for help, but they didn’t. They didn’t because they work for an international research project no-one talks about and their cargo is a prohibited substance.
The accident would have remained a mystery were it not for Ned (Dan Spielman) and Jesse Banks (Ashley Zukerman). Ned is a young internet journalist desperate for a break, and Jesse is his troubled younger brother whose obsession with hacking has got him into serious difficulties.
Ned and Jesse Banks are given a poisoned chalice when a phone video of the outback accident arrives in their in-box. Their decision to dig deeper drags the brothers into the darkest heart of politics, the web of black marketeers and the international agencies that monitor and manipulate them. Together, they suddenly become the unlikeliest crusaders for democracy.
The question is just how far those in authority will go to keep their explosive secret safe - and just how far the two brothers will go to reveal the truth.
