Dir. Ridley Scott · United Kingdom, United States of America · English

What we do in life echoes in eternity.

What the critics said

Notable Critics

"Without Russell Crowe's dynamism holding it all together, Gladiator might have devolved into a rash of overblown pandering."

— Peter Rainer

"The best film Ridley Scott has made... Here he's made the quintessential big-budget studio product that's smarter than it looks, a fiendishly arduous logistical feat that clicks together like a well-tailored suit of armour."

— Leslie Felperin
