Gladiator
A man robbed of his name and his dignity strives to
win them back, and gain the freedom of his people, in
this epic historical drama from director Ridley Scott. In
the year 180, the death of emperor Marcus
Aurelius (Richard Harris) throws the
Roman Empire into chaos. Maximus (Russell Crowe) is one
of the Roman army's most capable and trusted generals and a
key advisor to the emperor. As Marcus' devious son
Commodus (Joaquin Phoenix) ascends to the throne,
Maximus is set to be executed. He escapes, but is captured
by slave traders. Renamed Spaniard and forced to
become a gladiator, Maximus must battle to the death
with other men for the amusement of paying audiences.
His battle skills serve him well, and he becomes one of
the most famous and admired men to fight in the
Colosseum. Determined to avenge himself against
the man who took away his freedom and laid waste to
his family, Maximus believes that he can use his fame and
skill in the ring to avenge the loss of his family and former
glory. As the gladiator begins to challenge his rule,
Commodus decides to put his own fighting mettle to
the test by squaring off with Maximus in a battle to
the death. Gladiator also features Derek Jacobi,
Connie Nielsen, Djimon Hounsou, and Oliver
Reed, who died of a heart attack midway through
production. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
