Elevator Pitch |
A Roman general and his family are casualties when an Emperor is murdered by his son, and it is necessary for him to fight for his freedom in gladiatorial combat. |
Content |
Lots of combat with swords and spears and involving wild animals since much of the film concentrates on the arena. Some minor sexual references. |
A View |
Terrific stuff, and maybe Russell Crowe’s best film. Also Oliver Reed’s last since he died during the filming. A really entertaining couple of hours. |
