Duration :

Summary: The "sword-and-sandal" film makes a bold, thunderous and bloody return in this spectacular epic that won five 2000 Oscars(R) including Best Picture. Russell Crowe nabbed the Best Actor award for his performance as Maximus, a once great Roman general who is forced into slavery by the sadistic, jealous ruler Commodus (Joaquin Phoenix). Bent on avenging his family's brutal murders at the hands of Commodus's men, Maximus becomes the most ferocious--and popular--gladiator in all of Rome...leading to an inevitable clash with his mortal enemy. Also with Connie Nielsen, Oliver Reed (in his final screen performance), Derek Jacobi, Djimon Hounsou and Richard Harris. Directed by Ridley Scott (Alien, Hannibal) from a screenplay by David Franzoni, John Logan and William Nicholson. (R) (AC,AL,GV)
