Additional InformationRidley Scott (BLADE RUNNER, ALIEN) transports Hollywood to second-century Rome in this rousing historical epic that proudly harkens back to such films as BEN-HUR and SPARTACUS. Russell Crowe plays Maximus, a Roman general who leads the troops in conquering Germania for the empire. When an ageing Marcus Aurelius (Richard Harris) tells Maximus that he'd like him to rule Rome once he's gone, a classic confrontation ensues between the brave and charming soldier--who wants to return home to his wife, son, and farm--and the jealous and conniving Commodus (Joaquin Phoenix), the emperor's only son, who is thirsty for power. Bought as a slave by the profiteering Proximo (Oliver Reed, in his last role), Maximus must kill or be killed in the ring, battling to save not only himself but the future of the very empire that he loves and honours. The film features a terrific battle sequence (that recalls the beginning of SAVING PRIVATE RYAN), huge crowd scenes of thousands of people, and even a little romance, albeit mostly taboo. The impeccably choreographed gladiator scenes are violent yet thrilling, flashing by like lightning. GLADIATOR is a glorious spectacle filled with heart and soul.

  • Could it get any better?

    Totally engrossing story with strong characters & mind-blowing fight scenes! Don't have popcorn on your lap when the tiger appears! I could watch this epic every week & not tire of it! There is an additional DVD which shows you how they filmed the special effects but I have chosen not to watch it in case it's a spoiler.

  • Gladiator, a Classic!

    If it isn't already a cult classic, it will be. It portrays resilience, strength of character, willpower. I've never been what could be described as a fan of Russel Crowe, I have to admit he was truly brilliant in this role.
