General Maximus Decimus Meridius (GLADIATOR, 2000)

There’s little more dangerous than a hero with nothing left to lose. Maximus loses his mentor, his rank and his family to the jealousy of a pretender to the throne. Made a slave who must fight for his life, he would rally all of Rome to his side to restore justice. GLADIATOR was nominated for 12 Oscars and won 5 including Best Picture and Best Actor.
