Discover the unparalleled power and glory of Gladiator, a dazzling combination of vivid action and extraordinary storytelling that critics called a "stunning, explosive, breathtaking epic!" --Bill Diehl, ABC Radio Network

Masterfully directed by Ridley Scott (Alien, Blade Runner), Gladiator features a riveting performance from Academy Award-nominated star Russell Crowe, hailed by Newsweek as "a genuine larger-than-life hero!"

The DVD video performance was flawless. From the gladiator battles to the recreation of great Rome, this movie is a feast for authentic sights. Getting the Best Costumes at the Academy Awards helps out in this category, also.
