Gladiator was a popular film that appeared in 2000, starring Russell Crowe and Joaquin Phoenix. It won a number of Academy Awards.
The movie is loosely based on the life of the deranged Roman emperor Commodus (played by Phoenix), who scandalized Roman society by appearing in the Colosseum as a gladiator.
