Plot summary

The decurion Randus holds himself so well in the command of his troops, that Caesar promotes him to centurion. He is subsequently sent to Egypt, to keep Cesar informed on the actions and intentions of co-triumvir Marcus Licinius Crassus - a man too rich, and ambitious, for Caesar's comfort. A fateful sea trip from Egypt to Rome forces Randus in captivity by mercenary troops, and leads a revolt by which he gets freedom for himself, and all the other slaves. Through an amulet he received from his late mother, a man who had fought by Spartacus' side, identifies the young man as Spartacus' and Varinia's son. At first reluctant to accept this story about his origins, Randus will be forced by the circumstances to repeat the feat of his father, twenty years later.

Steve Reeves is at his muscle-bound best in

Steve Reeves is at his muscle-bound best in this slightly too long and episodic story of that little baby that left his father nailed to cross a couple of decades earlier. He is unaware of his provenance and has been brought up as a Roman to be a valued aide to Julius Caesar (Ivo Garrani). With that man’s own mentor Crassus (Claudio Gora) causing some consternation with his behaviour in the East, “Randus” (Reeves) is duly despatched as a sort of legate-cum-spy. His journey is fraught with danger and it’s only after he manages to free himself from some slave traders, he makes it to his destination. Initially, if sceptically, welcomed at the court of Crassus, he soon gets wind not just of a plot by this man to take control of the empire, but also that he may not be quite who thinks he is, either! It’s this latter suspicion that gradually alerts him to the fact that he is a natural born rebel, and so is soon leading something of a double identity whilst trying to remain loyal to his original mission. As things become more perilous, he comes to rely on some unlikely allies to stay one step ahead of his wily foe. The production here is really quite impressive with plenty of attention paid to the costumes and settings. I could have done with a little more action, but what there is delivers entertainingly and despite his terribly wooden effort, both Gora and Gianna Maria Canale as his duplicitous wife “Claudia” make for quite a decent pair of baddies. The editing isn’t great, but otherwise this flows along well and I quite enjoyed it.

Steve only seemed to get better

This film, made at the twilight of Mr. Reeves film career, is certainly one of his best. The location work in Egypt and a rather big budget look add a great amount of, shall I say it?, realism to an essentially escapist, fantastical genre- the Italian sword and sandal flicks of the 1958-64 period. This picture also features some extremely diabolical villainy on the part of Crassus. Sir Laurence Olivier wasn't nearly this outrageously evil playing the same character in SPARTACUS! Steve's dilemma is pretty heavy in this one, doing a complete 180 from up and coming Roman centurions to advocate warrior of the freedom movement for the slaves of Rome. The action scenes stand up pretty well after 40 plus years.
