In Gladiator, victorious general Maximus Decimus Meridias has been named keeper of Rome and its empire by dying emperor Marcus Aurelius, so that rule might pass from the Caesars back to the people and Senate. Marcus' neglected and power-hungry son, Commodus, has other ideas, however. Escaping an ordered execution, Maximus hurries back to his home in Spain, too late to save his wife and son from the same order. Taken into slavery and trained as a gladiator by Proximo, Maximus lives only that he might someday take his revenge and fulfill the dying wish of his emperor. The time soon comes when P... roximo's troupe is called to Rome to participate in a marathon of gladiator games held at the behest of the new emperor, Commodus. Once in Rome, Maximus wastes no time in making his presence known, and is soon involved in a plot to overthrow the emperor with his former-love Lucilla, Commodus' sister, after whom he lusts, and also the widowed mother of Lucius, heir to the empire after his uncle, and democratic-minded senator, Gracchus.

But for Crouching Tiger I believe this would have got many more oscars.
Not sure why this has a rating of 4 stars, come on guys give it the credit it deserves.
Gladiator Ridley Scott revives the Roman epic with computer generated imagery and a mighty performance from Russell Crowe. Not to mention the last stand of the late Oliver Reed
Hulking great buildings, hulking men, hulking utterances are the blocks that Ridley Scott's film is constructed from. But at the heart of Gladiator's epic recreation of the ancient Roman world sits an effectively simple tale of loyalty and love.
Maximus (Crowe) is a respected warrior, a general loyal to the visionary emperor Marcus Aurelius (Harris). However, when Marcus Aurelius dies, Maximus is double-crossed by the dangerous, nay deranged, new emperor Commodus (Phoenix). All Maximus wan...

a must watch film, i actually saw this one at the theaters. every 1 was saying how great of a film it was and they were wrong. this is nothing more than a MASTERPIECE. [SPOILER]
A excellent and most powerful movie with outstanding performance by the actors. This is a very well made movie, and is one that should be seen. I would rate this movie a 9 1/2 out of 10 to see.
