RIDLEY SCOTT: GLADIATOR 2
More than two decades after Ridley Scott’s Gladiator left audiences breathless, the legendary filmmaker returns to the arena with Gladiator 2, promising an epic continuation of one of cinema’s most iconic tales.
In Gladiator II, from iconic director Ridley Scott, the epic tale of power, intrigue and revenge in ancient Rome continues. Years ago, young Lucius (Paul Mescal) saw first-hand how his uncle killed the widely revered hero Maximus. Now he himself is forced to fight in the Colosseum after the area where he lives has been conquered by the tyrannical emperors who rule the Roman Empire with a heavy hand. Driven by rage, Lucius will have to delve into his own past to find the strength and honour to restore Rome to its former glory.
