Ready to go to ancient Rome.

Rating: 3/10 (2 June 2001)

Russell Crowe as Roman general Maximus leaves viewers amazed with his performance which won Crowe a best actor Oscar. Maximus winds up a gladiator after he refuses to pledge loyalty to the son of the dying Aurelius. Orders then come for Maximus to be executed only to lead to many great battles some of the most violent in film history that's just the way it was in ancient Rome times. Gladiator is a great movie to see if you like the historical/drama type and enjoy great battle scenes.
