Maximus in the tiger's den - Gladiator Reviews

A interesting look at what the gladiator days were like during the christian era of history. The movie tells of the end of one king's rule and the start of a new reign.This dying king names his general to succeed him,angering the son of the king who wass next in line. Banishing the general to a far-off territory and slaying his heirs,the sorry royal son assumes the crown and captures the throne. Years later the general,known now as the Spanish gladiator returns to avenge his name and place in his country.The final scene is heart-wrenching. Excellent cinematography and story-line.
