Details
The first GREAT SCOTT miniseries ends with blockbuster GLADIATOR! We finish the inaugural season with big brother Ridley behind the camera in one of his signature genres: historical fiction. This epic exploded onto screens in the year 2000. It is fitting that the protagonist is Maximus because this movie is maximalist. The turn of the century brought a lot of splashy films, and this film delivered in spades. It has the blockbuster energy and the sword-and-sandal vibes of the fifties and sixties. With Gladiator 2 coming this fall, we bring you the ultimate primer—and remind you that organized sports have been around a long effing time. The cast is bold, beautiful and powerful, and not one of them lets you down. The Scott brothers show you how to dominate summer on the screen. Don’t miss this spectacle!
