Ključna beseda Senate

Vozovi, sandali in meči so se po več desetletjih pogumno in krvavo vrnili na velika platna v tem spektakularnem epskem filmu, ki je leta 2000 osvojil pet oskarjev, med drugim za najboljši film. Dobil ga je tudi Russell Crowe za svojo upodobitev Maksima, nekoč velikega rimskega generala, ki je končal v suženjstvu pod sadističnim in zavistnim vladarjem Komodom (Joaquin Phoenix). Maksim se želi maščevati za smrt svoje družine, ki so jo ubili Komodovi možje, in postane najsrditejši in najbolj priljubljen gladiator v vsem Rimu. To ga pripelje do neizogibnega spopada s svojim smrtnim sovražnikom. Igrajo še Connie Nielsen, Oliver Reed (v svoji zadnji filmski vlogi), Derek Jacobi, Djimon Hounsou in Richard Harris. Film je režiral Ridley Scott (Osmi potnik, Hanibal) po scenariju Davida Franzonija, Johna Logana in Williama Nicholsona.

Mackenzie Allen has a lot on her plate -- she has twin teenagers, a 6-year-old at home and an ambitious husband at the office, and she is about to become the first female president of the United States. Before that happens, however; Mackenzie, who serves as vice president, has to decide whether or not to go against the dying wishes of the current president, who has asked her to step down and let someone "more appropriate" fill his shoes in the Oval Office. Not only does the president want her to resign, so does the entire party that elected her in the first place. But when the moment of truth arrives, Mackenzie isn't willing to be a mere footnote in history. Instead of allowing her detractors to keep her down, she decides to trust her instincts and accept the most powerful job in the world.
