A modern epic that's sure to become a classic
GLADIATOR is the best movie I have ever seen. It is grand in scale, with an excellent cast and plot. General Maximus Decimus Meridius was a loyal servant to Emperor Marcus Aurelius (played wonderfully by Richard Harris). Upon the emperor's death, Maximus is betrayed by Rome. He then must become a gladiator to win his freedom. His quest for freedom will make for a great film.This film has grand special effects that transport us back to Ancient Rome. We are able to see the splendour, the atrocity, and moral decay that was Rome. We look past this, as we see a great man's struggle for freedom and justice. This struggle is the main point of this masterpiece. If you like violence, fighting, or period pieces you will love GLADIATOR. Buy this epic today.
