Gladiator

Gladiator (2000) — watch online the historical epic directed by Ridley Scott, starring Russell Crowe, from DreamWorks Pictures and Universal Pictures. Runtime: 155 minutes.

General Maximus was Rome's finest soldier and the emperor's chosen heir. Then Marcus Aurelius dies and his son Commodus seizes the throne. He orders Maximus executed and his family slaughtered. Maximus survives, is sold into slavery, and ends up under arena trainer Proximo's roof. From there, the road leads back to Rome — and to Commodus. Joaquin Phoenix plays the emperor as a man who smiles widest when he's most dangerous.

The film won five Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Actor for Russell Crowe, and single-handedly revived the sword-and-sandal epic. Stream Gladiator (2000) in full online on iFILM.
