Maximus Decimus Meridius: Gladiator (2000)

A betrayed general turned gladiator, Maximus inspires loyalty and fights for justice with honour and sheer will. Russell Crowe’s performance captures the hero’s complexity - a man of strategy, moral code, and unstoppable determination - navigating betrayal, revenge, and the brutal arena of Rome.

"What we do in life echoes in eternity." – Maximus Decimus Meridius
