Gladiator is a 2000 British-American epic historical drama film directed by Ridley Scott, and starring Russell Crowe, Joaquin Phoenix, Connie Nielsen, Ralf Möller, Oliver Reed (in his final film role before his death), Djimon Hounsou, Derek Jacobi, John Shrapnel, and Richard Harris. Crowe portrays the fictional character, loyal Roman general Maximus Decimus Meridius, who is betrayed when Commodus, the ambitious son of Emperor Marcus Aurelius, murders his father and seizes the throne. Reduced to slavery, Maximus rises through the ranks of the gladiatorial arena to avenge the murders of his family and his emperor.
The film was released in the United States on May 5, 2000, and was a box office success, receiving generally positive reviews and being credited with rekindling interest in the historical epic. The film won multiple awards, including Best Picture, Best Actor for Crowe, and three other Oscars at the 73rd Academy Awards.
In AD 180, Spanish-Roman General Maximus Decimus Meridius leads the Roman army to a decisive victory against the Germanic tribes near Vindobona, ending a long war on the Roman frontier and winning the favor of the Emperor Marcus Aurelius. Maximus, weary of battle, decides to retire at his Spanish farm estate at the Emperor's behest, but the Emperor tells him that his son and heir to the throne, Commodus, is unfit to rule and so appoints Maximus as regent to help save Rome from corruption. Before Maximus makes his decision, Commodus is confronted by his father who tells him that he will not be emperor. Burdened by grief and believing he was never valued by his father, Commodus murders him.

I am likely to triumph, despite 9 of us dying.
300 of us, 3 million of them.
Keep coming, we're fucking them up, we're piercing their skin.
Chop their heads off. Tear it off, chew on their limbs.
Drink blood for protein and yes we'll do it again.
Your king's a coward, don't care what you do with your men.
But we are soldier and will die keeping it true til the end.
Put me in a arena, give me one sword to defend.
Myself against a billion, let the bloody war begin.
Then I walk out without any signs of me even being in battle, gladiator,
Something you've never seen or could fathom.
I'm a general, put inside a pit this shit is pitiful, walking around dead animal
Carcasses cause I slit his throat.
You can see I'm heartless a part of this comes with getting thrown into a dungeon,
Til I kill Ceasar and get the throne.
I'm a gladiator!
I am the son of God but they try so hard to enslave me
I'm a gladiator!
They can't stand my blood so they kill my wife and baby
I'm a gladiator!
You can't hold me
I'm a gladiator!
I'm killing this poetry
I'm a gladiator!
I am Maximus, with an axe I'll cut you I'm crazy!
I ask myself time and time again, will I die fighting inside of this lion's den.
These tyrants like it they can't hide it, they smile and grin.
I wish that I could put my knife right inside his chin!
I'm a general not a criminal.
Men are getting done critical.
Then I'm entering in his room, Ceasar I'm here to get at you.
I'll take your life and your crown.
Take your wife and your child.
Today they're hyping the crowd.
They may die in front of thousands.
Living legend in your presence.
Give em less then fifty seconds.
Split your neck then hit ya chest, blood is spit in six directions.
Aspire a God-king.
Inspired by all things.
That's higher than ya'll beings, that's human at offspring.
Like Zeus or a crossbreed, an unusual live thing.
I'm brutal to the few of you who chose to not drop knees.
I'm on top and I won't stop until I conquer the whole continent,
The dominant god they call Xerxes!
I'm a gladiator!
I am the son of God but they try so hard to enslave me
I'm a gladiator!
They can't stand my blood so they kill my wife and baby
I'm a gladiator!
You can't hold me
I'm a gladiator!
I'm killing this poetry
I'm a gladiator!
I am Maximus, with an axe I'll cut you I'm crazy!
The mummy returns with blood in the urn to resurrect me.
A God-king is how you will address me.
Dress me in golden garments.
My flesh bleeds not a drop for I am supersonic.
I'm like Mohammed the prophet.
Oh Jesus Christ, he's super nice, He's super natural.
I'll be a knight and when we fight turn to an animal.
I'll swing this knife, as mean as Slice, I'll fucking slash his throat.
He needs to die, his meats divided, we are cannibalistic.
The Christians insist they're against this.
Well send em the head of their messenger, this begins it.
Holy war, golden swords, broken jaws, swollen open scars.
Soldiers we are warriors, we go for ours.
We're to control the whole world by early tomorrow.
A man infatuated by a nation calling him God.
I'm here to rule the whole universe.
I will have you and her, kneeled before I'm through with this verse.
I'm a gladiator!
I am the son of God but they try so hard to enslave me
I'm a gladiator!
They can't stand my blood so they kill my wife and baby
I'm a gladiator!
You can't hold me
I'm a gladiator!
I'm killing this poetry
I'm a gladiator!
