Gladiator

Special Father’s Day screening! Encore on Tues. Jun. 23!

Original Theatrical Cut!

A dying Marcus Aurelius plans to name his loyal and brave General Maximus Decimus Meridius as his successor, in order to restore the power of the Roman Senate. However, his power-hungry and jealous son Commodus learns of his father’s plans and schemes to execute Maximus and his family in order to secure his claim as Emperor. Maximus escapes death, but is sold into slavery and is forced to become a gladiator. Eventually, Maximus and his fellow fighters are sent to Rome to perform for Commodus in the splendour of the famed Colosseum. Through his bravery, he wins over the masses, much to the chagrin of Commodus who seeks that same undying admiration from his subjects. Can Maximus use his newfound popularity to avenge the deaths of Marcus Aurelius and his loved ones, or will Commodus be able to keep the throne?
