'''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." <ref> Quoted in "Hollywood Worldviews" ''Watching films with wisdom and discernment,'' Brian Godawa, InterVarsity Press, p. 141 </ref> 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. <ref> http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0172495/awards </ref>
