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.

Moški so se skozi stoletja bojevali. Nekateri za moč, nekateri za slavo ali čast in nekateri za ljubezen. V starodavni Grčiji sta strast dveh najbolj legendarnih ljubimcev v zgodovini, Pariza, trojanskega princa (Orlando Bloom) in Helene (Diane Kruger), kraljica Šparte, sprožila vojno, ki bi opustošila civilizacijo. Ugrabitev Helene s strani Pariza, ki jo loči od moža, kralja Menelausa (Bren-dan Gleeson), je žalitev, da Family Pride ugotovi, da je prizadetost Menelausu grožnja njenemu bratu Agamemnonu (Brian Cox), močnemu kralju Mycenae, ki kmalu ponovno združi vsa velika grška plemena, da bi Heleno opomogla pred Trojanci in branila čast svojega brata. Resnica je, da boj za čast Agamemnona pokvari njegov neobvladljiv pohlep, ko mora osvojiti Trojo, da prevzame nadzor nad Egejskim morjem.

Glavno pravilo glave družine Gruga je, da razen za iskanje hrane nikoli ne zapustijo varnega zavetja domače votline, kar gre močno v nos njegovi vedoželjni odraščajoči hčerki Ip. Toda tektonski premiki jih prisilijo, da si poiščejo nov dom, preko nepoznanih dežel pa jih vodi Ipin novi prijatelj, kar Grugu ni niti malo všeč. Ob spoznavanju številnih novih čudes in neprestanih nevarnostih se počasi vendarle zbližajo, toda premagati morajo še številne zabavne in boleče preizkušnje.

Režiser Zore živih mrtvecev Zack Snyder je po stripu Franka Millerja, ki je navdihnil tudi Mesto greha, ustvaril spektakularno vizijo legendarnega boja 300 špartanskih vojakov, ki so se leta 480 pred našim štetjem spopadli s stokrat številnejšo perzijsko vojsko. Čeprav niso imeli možnosti za zmago, so s svojo hrabrostjo, požrtvovalnostjo in odločnostjo dali zgled in upanje drugim grškim državam, da so se skupno uprle in naposled pregnale perzijske zavojevalce

Leta 117 se rimsko cesarstvo razteza od Egipta do Španije in do Črnega morja na vzhodu.

Kvintus Dias, edini preživeli po njihovem napadu na rimsko postojanko, se poda na sever v spremstvu 9. legije slavnega generala Virilusa, da bi porazil Pikte in uničil njihovega vodjo Gorlacona. Vendar legijo napadejo iz zasede in ugrabijo Virilusa, Kvintus pa se obupano bojuje za življenje svojega vodje izza sovražnikove črte in se ogiba piktovskih zasledovalcev.
