Gladiator Movie

In ancient times, the Roman Empire had no commander more powerful than general Maximus (Russell Crowe). The invincible Legions of the Empire led by the noble warrior worshiped him reverently and could follow him even to the hell. But it happened that the courageous Maximus, determined to have a fair fight with enemy troops, turned out powerless against treacherous court intrigues. The general was betrayed and condemned to death. Having escaped an execution and been sold into slavery, Maximus was forced to train as a gladiator in the arena, where his fame grew. Once in the Coliseum, he was locked in mortal combat with his sworn enemy, Commodus (Joaquin Phoenix)...
