In this epic historical drama from director Ridley Scott, Gladiator, a man stripped of his name and dignity fights to reclaim them while seeking freedom for his people. Set in the year 180, the death of Emperor Marcus Aurelius (Richard Harris) plunges the Roman Empire into chaos. Maximus (Russell Crowe), a trusted general and advisor, faces execution at the hands of the emperor’s treacherous son, Commodus (Joaquin Phoenix). Although he escapes, he is captured by slave traders, renamed Spaniard, and forced to become a gladiator, battling for the amusement of crowds in the Colosseum.
As Maximus rises to fame in the arena, he is driven by a burning desire for revenge against the man who destroyed his family and freedom. With Commodus threatened by Maximus’s growing influence, he challenges him to a deadly showdown. The film also stars Derek Jacobi, Connie Nielsen, Djimon Hounsou, and Oliver Reed, who tragically passed away during production.
