When a Roman General is betrayed, and his family murdered by an emperor's corrupt son, he comes to Rome as a gladiator to seek revenge.
A dying Marcus Aurelius plans to name his loyal and brave General Maximus as his successor in order to restore the power of the Roman Senate. However, his power-hungry, jealous son Commodus learns of the plan, murders Marcus Aurelius, and plans to execute Maximus in order to secure his claim to the throne. Maximus escapes execution, but is sold into slavery and is forced to become a gladiator. Eventually, Maximus and his fellow gladiators are sent to Rome to perform for Commodus. Through his bravery he wins over the masses and reveals his true identity, much to the chagrin of Commodus. Can Maximus use his newfound popularity to avenge Marcus Aurelius' death, or will Commodus be able to keep the throne?
Historical epics set in the classical antiquity were a cinematic staple for a long period in the post war era. The genre died a death in the mid-60s, and even though big historical pictures did crop up from time to time, the Sword-and-Sandal format of Ben Hur and Spartacus seemed vanished. That is, until Gladiator. All at once, the vast ancient-world movie was back. Hollywood and the cinema-going public welcomed it with open arms.

Of course, movies don't quite look the same now as they once did. One of the biggest changes in cinema since then is not one of style but one of logistics. Back in the 1950s you could put out a call for a few thousand men, give them all a free meal and a tin hat, and hey presto, you had an army. Now, every extra must be paid properly and you just can't afford masses of them. That extras are getting their due is a good thing, but it has changed the way we make movies. It's one of the reasons why CGI became so widespread – it's essentially a cheap option. However with Gladiator, Ridley Scott has done something Cecil B. DeMille used to do during The Great Depression, back when he was the only person mad enough to make epics in that cash-strapped era. He employs a mix of rapid editing and obscure cinematography to make it look like there's a lot more in the frame than there really is*. It's a neat trick and it works fairly well in battle and crowd scenes. The only trouble is the style is used for much of the picture, and it is somewhat tiresome to see a simple dialogue scene chopped up into a bewildering mess of shaky close-ups.

Back in the Sword-and-Sandal heyday there were certain actors who were associated with the genre. Now that the format was being revived, it would be a gamble finding their modern equivalents. Luckily, I can't think of any contemporary player better than Russell Crowe for this job. He has that rugged tough-guy look, but with a quiet dignity that is absolutely in tune with the notion of Romans as civilized warriors. While his performance does not have any exceptional moments, its strength is in his overall embodiment of the character of Maximus, convincing us that he is every inch a general who leads from the front. Also very good is Oliver Reed, bringing a bit of old-style presence to the proceedings, and a slightly pervy Joaquin Phoenix.

There is one final big difference between Gladiator and its predecessors. The older epics were almost always religious movies, with stories taken from the bible or the days of the early Christians. However, where those '50s pictures were religious, Gladiator is spiritual. There are no miracles or grandiose sermons here, just one man's very fervent belief in an afterlife. And while this is still just a piece of mythology, its context here – the hope of reunion with his murdered family – is incredibly touching, and is effectively what binds the whole movie together. In fact, Gladiator is arguably the first epic to achieve what so many of the earlier examples strove so hard to be – an epic that is also intimate.

*Note that there is some CGI in Gladiator, but it's relatively minimal and is even comparable to the use of matt paintings in those '50s epics. Let me begin by saying that I believe this movie deserved the awards it won, but not because of Russell Crowe. Mainly, this was a good movie because of Ridley Scott and Joaquin Phoenix, who had to work AROUND Crowe, and support his performance, in order for his "work" to even be watchable, much less steal an Oscar for the best leading male role. He SO didn't deserve that.

I also have to admit that I did NOT agree that Gladiator was the best movie of 2000. I thought that award should have gone to Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Now THAT was a film! Other than my misgivings surrounding Crowe's inept performance and the fact that he did not deserve the awards he won, Gladiator is still enjoyable; despite Crowe's involvement, however, NOT because of it.

Joaquin Phoenix is GREAT in this film and makes it well worth watching.

It rates a 6.6/10 from...

the Fiend :. The heroism and the tigers and the epic grandeur all leave behind the flavor of cynicism.
5. Very weakly before the start of his final duel in the Colosseum with Commodus.The practical reason for conducting this ritual is to make friction (by absorbing the sweat) between his hands and the object he is holding: it is to form a better grip on his sword, like chalk. The personal reason is to remind Maximus of his villa, which is full of rich memories of the harvest, his wife, his son, his horses and general actions akin to the soil. Director Ridley Scott points this out during his DVD commentary. During the victory celebration after the battle in Germania, there is conversation between Maximus and two of his officers which relate to his villa:Valerius: Back to your barracks, General, or to Rome?

Maximus: Home. The wife, the son, the harvest.

Quintus: Maximus the farmer. I still have difficulty imagining that.

Maximus: You know, dirt cleans off a lot easier than blood, Quintus. Most likely he means to say "Ihr seid verfluchte Hunde!", which means "You are (a bunch of) cursed dogs!" It is not the German language as we know it today. In the time the movie is set, there was in fact no common "German language" but a whole lot of different tribal languages and dialects like those of Angeln, Friesen, Sachsen etc. Those languages were the base of today's German but also (mixed up with the colloquially Latin brought in by the Romans) of many other European languages. Most notable is his next-to-final scene when he gives the keys to Maximus. You can tell that he was digitally removed from another scene because the focus doesn't change on anything, even though he is moving closer, the lighting is different enough to stand out, and all his new lines are said by an impersonator (added later) while Proximo is off screen. Also, his final line, when he is looking up and says, "shadows and dust", right before the soldiers stab him, it's taken from the earlier scene where Maximus argued with him about the vision of Rome and Proximo shouted, "We mortals are but shadows and dust! Shadows and dust Maximus!" Look in the background during his last line and it is clearly from the arena barracks. Most cast members playing inhabitants of Rome speak English with a British accent. Russell Crowe's Australian accent indicates that his character is from a different region within the Empire. In this case, Hispania (present day Spain), which was a region previously conquered by the Romans, so they would have spoken Latin with an accent. Concomitantly, Hagen (the German gladiator) and Juba (the African gladiator) speak English with a German and African accent respectively. Maximus had disarmed Commodus fairly in combat and Quintus was observing the rules. Commodus may be emperor but in challenging Maximus to combat, he subjects himself to the same rules as his opponent. His only choices at that point are to retrieve the sword he lost or draw another weapon, and he chose the latter, only to be defeated. The extended edition adds a good deal more to Quintus' character's arc than the theatrical version. Two scenes in particular help illustrate this:

When Quintus first turns on Maximus, he does display guilt to the point that he avoids looking at his old friend, indicating that he was not completely happy with what was going on from the start. A key deleted scene featured in the extended cut has Commodus forcing Quintus to execute the two Praetorian scouts who reported back that they found the bodies of the men sent to execute Maximus, but mistakenly speculate that they got killed in a barbarian raid. Quintus tries to assert that he and the other Praetorians know these scouts are honorable men whom are loyal to Rome and it was an honest mistake. Commodus does not relent and tests Quintus' loyalty by pressuring him to order their deaths even though he desperately doesn't want to. He ultimately begrudgingly does however. (This also helps in explaining why the other Praetorians could be swayed to defy Commodus in the end as well.) Later on, in another extended cut scene, before Commodus has his final exchange with Maximus before their duel Quintus goes to him first attempting to clear his conscience of all that has transpired by saying, "I'm a soldier. I obey.". Maximus rejects him. Having seen firsthand the dangerous and mad side of Commodus along with his own guilt, as well as adhering to the rules of the match, leads him to ultimately defying him and ultimately redeeming himself. Which helps give Maximus a greater chance at winning, and ultimately also decides to help try and carry out Maximus' mission when he relays it to him as he dies.

Another, quite probable reason, is the Praetorians no longer believe him worthy of being Emperor. Several times throughout history, the Praetorian Guard has stepped in to eliminate an Emperor who they believe is not acting in the best interests of the Empire. They also seem to have a deep respect for Maximus, as shown after he defeats Tigris. After Commodus tries to bait Maximus into attacking, which fails, the two Praetorians Maximus walks up to (between him and the exit to the gladiator barracks) lower their weapons and let him pass without orders, even inclining their heads in a respectful bow. Juba had said he was a hunter. The slave trader didn't want Proximo to buy Juba because he could have been sold at a higher price elsewhere to a different customer. As the trader had said he was willing to give a discount in his new stock to make up for the "queer girraffes" he sold Proximo. However, Proximo saw right through the ruse knowing that Juba would make a great gladiator—not even the slave trader could hide Juba's muscular physique. Several years after its initial release an Extended Cut got published on DVD (and later on Blu-ray) that runs approximately 16 minutes longer than the more familiar theatrical version. All of the scenes that were restored for this version had previously been included as deleted scenes on previous DVD releases. The restored scenes are mainly character moments, though some deserve singling out, e.g., (1) Proximo tells Maximus to be "entertaining" before his first fight as a Gladiator. This gives context to Maximus shouting the question "Were you not entertained?!" and throwing his sword into the balcony after his victory; (2) Lucilla is seen secretly meeting with the senators, Graccus and Gaius, for the first time, much earlier in the narrative than in the theatrical cut of the film. This indicates far earlier her unhappiness with Commodus' rule, even stating her brother has to die; and (3) There are the various scenes featuring Maximus' former ally, Quintus, being forced to follow Commodus' orders, leading to the soldier eventually betraying his Emperor. Zucchabar was located in modern-day Algeria, in the north part of the country. The area is now referred to as Miliana. More info can be read here. They're going though a semi-audition to find out if they'll make good or great gladiators. When Juba fights with Hagen (using wooden swords), he fights pretty fiercely and receives a red mark on this tunic on orders from Proximo himself. Proximo seems to be the the sole judge of the candidates. He sees that Juba has a fighter's spirit & it puts him at the top of the running. Maximus blatantly refuses to fight and receives a yellow mark that puts him somewhere in the middle of the candidates, however Proximo likely suspects that Maximus is a skilled fighter and has the potential to be a great Gladiator. He does, primarily because of his need for revenge. Historians and archeologists have been searching for many years for evidence that there was an awning or velarium to provide shade. Coins and other artifacts have been found showing the Colosseum with the awning and there are pieces of stone called corbels on the outer facade of the Colosseum (and other, more intact Roman amphitheaters around the Mediterranean Sea) that would have supported wooden masts for this purpose. In May of 1998, the PBS show NOVA had some archeologists attempt to reconstruct two different types of Colosseum awning systems on an old bullfighting ring in Barcarrota, Spain with varying degrees of success. The episode is titled "Secrets of Lost Empires: Colosseum". Commodus was clearly always jealous of Maximus. Marcus always favoured his General Maximus over his own son, Commodus. Marcus even privately told Maximus that he was the son he should have had. Commodus was also in love with his own sister, Lucilla, but even she loved Maximus. (It's implied that Lucilla and Maximus had a relationship when they were younger). Commodus had grown up with the expectation of succeeding his father as Caesar. When Marcus breaks the news that Maximus would succeed him and not Commodus, it was more than Commodus could take. Enraged, he murders his own father, before he could make the public announcement of succession. Commodus becomes the rightful heir as far as the public knows. Commodus offers his hand to Maximus, essentially saying that Maximus can continue being a loyal servant to him. Maximus refuses, knowing that Commodus killed Marcus. Commodus takes this opportunity to order his Praetorians to secretly kidnap Maximus and have him executed. Commodus also orders the death of Maximus' family as a token of vengeance due to Commodus' own family choosing Maximus over him. Furthermore, the family of traitors almost always are slain as well, to ensure they don't try to get revenge or achieve the treason their family member failed in.
