Gladiator
Set in 180 AD, the story of a Roman general who, after winning a hard fought victory in a battle in Germania, is named by the reigning emperor as his successor. The emperor's son kills his father and orders the death of the general. Although he escapes, he is captured and forced into slavery and condemned to end his days as a gladiator.
