Thrown from a prestigious and respected position within the Roman military into the likely fatal role of a gladiator, Maximus seeks to survive long enough to avenge his family and end the tyranny of Commodus once and for all.
Ridley Scott’s Gladiator is a historical epic featuring stunning cinematography, breath taking action set pieces and terrific acting in the form of the stoic and unshakable Maximus and the fascinatingly slimy Commodus.
Widely credited for reinvigorating the “swords and sandals” craze and kickstarting a renewed interest in media centred around ancient Rome, the influence of Gladiator is undeniable even today.
