GLADIATOR (15) shows at City Screen on Sunday 30 May at 8.00pm.
Once a great Roman general named to succeed the reigning Caesar, Maximus has been forced into exile and slavery by the jealous heir to the throne, Commodus.
Trained as a gladitor Maximus returns to Rome intent on avenging the murder of his family by killing Commodus, who is now Emperor.
The only power stronger than that of the Emperor is the will of the people and Maximus knows he can only attain his revenge by becoming the greatest hero in the whole Empire.
