Plot: A man robbed of his name and his dignity strives to win them back, and gain the freedom of his people, in this epic historical drama from director Ridley Scott. In the year 180, the death of emperor Marcus Aurelius (Richard Harris) throws the Roman Empire into chaos. Maximus (Russell Crowe) is one of the Roman army's most capable and trusted generals and a key advisor to the emperor. As Marcus' devious son Commodus (Joaquin Phoenix) ascends to the throne, Maximus is set to be executed. He escapes, but is captured by slave traders. Renamed Spaniard and forced to become a gladiator, Maximus must battle to the death with other men for the amusement of paying audiences. His battle skills serve him well, and he becomes one of the most famous and admired men to fight in the Colosseum. Determined to avenge himself against the man who took away his freedom and laid waste to his family, Maximus believes that he can use his fame and skill in the ring to avenge the loss of his family and former glory. As the gladiator begins to challenge his rule, Commodus decides to put his own fighting mettle to the test by squaring off with Maximus in a battle to the death. Gladiator also features Derek Jacobi, Connie Nielsen, Djimon Hounsou, and Oliver Reed, who died of a heart attack midway through production. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Extended version tells so much more of the story...
Added 2/1/2010

Obviously one of the greatest films of all time, but have you seen the Extended Version? It's got a few scenes that weren't in the theatrical version and they add so much to the story. Definitely worth watching. Definitely worth watching on Blu-Ray.

Must own for Blu Fans!
Added 1/30/2010

This movie is a must own for all Blu Ray collectors. Both the Video and Audio quality are among the best that I have seen. Add in the fact that this is a fantastic movie that won the Academy Award for Best Picture, and it should be clear why this movie deserves a spot on your shelf!

Poor, poor transfer
Added 1/28/2010

Why pay money for a poor transfer? Wait until the re-release!

This sort of studio avarice is akin to that of the distributors of Lord of the Rings, who will release a Blu-ray in the shorter thetrical version in April, only to snatch more of your money by releasing the longer definitive version within the next 12 months thereafter.
