” At my signal, unleash hell! “

An unparalleled combination of vivid action and extraordinary storytelling, Gladiator triumphed at the box office and made history as the first blockbuster of the millennium when it debuted in May 2000. The Ridley Scott masterpiece won five Academy Awards® including Best Picture, and influenced a new generation of historical action-dramas. For its 20th anniversary, Gladiator returns to movie theaters nationwide for three days only this April in a special presentation from Fathom Events and Paramount Pictures.

Gladiator received both critical and audience acclaim and Russell Crowe took home the Oscar® for Best Actor in a Leading Role for his performance as Roman general Maximus Decimus Meridius. In addition to Crowe’s magnificent performance, the film boasts an impressive cast that includes Joaquin Phoenix, Oliver Reed, Derek Jacobi, Connie Nielsen, Djimon Hounsou and Richard Harris. The Fathom Events presentations of Gladiator will also include a special featurette that explores the making of an alternate and unused opening title sequence. 

Inspired by Daniel P. Mannix’s 1958 book “Those About to Die,” Gladiator tells a harrowing tale of a Roman general (Crowe) who is betrayed by a corrupt prince (Phoenix) and comes to Rome as a gladiator to seek revenge. The film earned over $460 million worldwide, making it the second highest-grossing film globally in 2000. Gladiator will also be available in a new Limited Edition 4K Ultra HD Steelbook on May 5, 2020.
