A Roman soldiers life changes in an instance when he fights for what he believes is right, the day before the final battle between the armies of Spartacus and Marcus Crassus.

A small time bandit climbs the mob's hierarchies up to the top but succumbs to his unlimited ambitions's madness. An imperial villa in place of a dark turreted castle; Puglia from Gargano to Salento instead of the Scottish moors; minions and leaders of the United Sacred Crown in place of generals, kings and aspirants to the throne. But the thirst for power, the murders, the traps, the blood to flow and then wash incessantly from the hands remain the same. In our troubled years, the Scottish tragedy 'Macbeth', written by Shakespeare in the early 1600s, returns to make its shadows and prophecies shine again (as in Joel Coen's film). Giulio Base (also author of the screenplay) reworks it in a contemporary and viscerally Italian key, with an overflowing and sanguine protagonist and a carnal and fatal Lady Macbeth.

Once Gru leaves behind a life of super crime to raise Margo, Edith and Agnes, he and the Minions have some free time on their hands. But just as he starts to adjust to his role as a suburban family man, an ultra-secret organization dedicated to fighting evil on a global scale comes knocking. Now, it`s up to Gru and his new partner, Lucy (Kristen Wiig), to find out who is responsible for a series of spectacular crimes. After all, it takes the world`s greatest ex-villain to catch the one vying to take his place.
