Description
“Gladiator” centers around a Roman named Maximus who seeks vengeance against an Emperor who had his family killed. But if he wants to strike back at the powerful man that wronged him, he’ll need to continuously fight for his life. The visuals are astounding throughout and help bring Ancient Rome to life in modern times. At the same time, the gladiatorial action sequences are heart-pounding and suitably grotesque. The movie also mines great emotional heft from its story, using revenge to explore universal concepts like love and evil. After one viewing, it’s easy to understand why “Gladiator” won 5 Academy Awards, including a best actor nod for Russell Crowe. He stars in a revenge story that’s epic in every sense of the word.
