Gladiator - DVD

Roman General Maximus ( Russell Crowe ) again led his legions to victory on the battlefield. The war is won and Maximus dreams of a home. He wants nothing more than to return to his wife and son. However, the dying ruler Marcus Aurelius (Richard Harris) has one more task for him. He asks the general to take over the government.
Commodus ( Joaquin Phoenix ), heir to the throne, is jealous of the ruler' s favor to Maxim and orders Maxim' s execution, including his family. Although Maximus narrowly escapes death, the severely wounded is “saved“ by slavers. Maximus thus gets into the gladiatorial school and his fame grows day by day in the arena.
He is now coming to Rome to avenge the murder of his wife and son to kill the new emperor - Commodus. He recognized that the only power stronger than the ruler' s was the will of the people. The path that leads to the fulfillment of Maxim' s revenge is to become the greatest hero of the whole empire.
