Gladiator is a 2000 film about a general named Maximus (played by Russell Crowe) who refuses to serve a tyrant and becomes a gladiator. The film uniquely portrays the pagan concept of Elysium as being real. Scriptwriter John Franzoni said, "The film is about a hero who has morality, but that morality is a secular morality." [1] The film was rated "R" for intense graphic combat. The film won 5 Oscars for Best Actor in Leading Role, Best Costume Design, Best Effects, Visual Effects, Best Picture and Best Sound and was nominated for another 7 Oscars. [2]
