Drawing its inspiration from Anthony Mann's 'The Fall of the Roman
Empire' (1964) and Stanley Kubrick's 'Spartacus' (1960), Ridley
Scott's Oscar-winning take on the Roman epic lavishes the genre
with the very latest in computer-generated effects technology.
After the death of Emperor Marcus Aurelius (Richard Harris),
Commodus (Joaquin Phoenix) betrays the Emperor's beloved General
Maximus (Russell Crowe) and takes the throne for himself. Maximus
is sold as a slave and then trained as a gladiator, keeping himself
strong with thoughts of revenge. Eventually he is taken to the
Colosseum, where he prepares to fight in a contest presided over by
the corrupt Commodus. Will he suffer the ultimate humiliation and
die for the entertainment of his enemy or will he survive the
rigors of the arena and find a way of exacting his revenge?
