Ridley Scott directs this drama starring Joaquin Phoenix and Russell Crowe. After the death of Emperor Marcus Aurelius (Richard Harris), Commodus (Phoenix) betrays the Emperor's beloved General Maximus (Crowe) and takes the throne for himself.
Maximus is sold as a slave and then trained as a gladiator, keeping himself strong with thoughts of revenge. Eventually he is taken to the Colosseum, where he prepares to fight in a contest presided over by the corrupt Commodus. Will he suffer the ultimate humiliation and die for the entertainment of his enemy or will he survive the rigors of the arena and find a way of exacting his revenge?
For this 2 disc version a portion of the extras review from avforums
"Well, besides the bewildering plethora of featurettes... Disc 2 houses the epic making-of documentary Strength and Honour: Creating the World of Gladiator. Running for a staggering three hours and sixteen minutes (you can choose to watch individual chapters) this is the kind of thorough, in-depth and fully comprehensive appreciation that you wish all your favourite movies could have. Folks, this stuff is simply mesmerising in its wealth of detail and information. A veritable treasure-trove of story development, raw footage, interviews, behind-the-scenes gubbins and tremendous retrospect from an army of participants. Literally leaving no stone unturned, we are introduced to the producers, the writers, the historians, the fight co-ordinators, the actors and the director, himself, who all help to steer this monolithic chronicle across the sea of time.
Some of the clips are like extended or alternate versions of information and interviews we've seen already on the original DVD from 2001 - but, don't feel short changed - this is the real deal, warts and all! Full of anecdote, frank and honest, the documentary hides nothing - from the actor/director spats and script turmoil of committee writing to the construction of weapons, costumes and visual effects - and conclusively proves that Rome wasn't built in a day. If I even began to divulge some of the meaty stuff examined and revealed herein, I'd possibly never stop. So, take my word for it, this is excellent."
