Rocca [Dan Vadis] and his nine gladiators have just delivered a triumphant show in the arena before the Emperor, the roar of the crowd still echoing as a darker challenge gathers in the wings. A dozen Thracian gladiators are ordered to kill each other until only one remains, and among them is a father and a son who reluctantly comply. When the son faces his father, one gladiator steps in to prevent the killing and then throws his sword at the Emperor’s box, a shocking gesture that freezes the packed arena.
