A look at the making of the Gladiator (2000) and the historical aspects presented within the film. Interviews with cast, crew and historical professors tell us a little bit more about certain locations and characters than what was in the movie.

For 700 years, the Roman Empire held exciting and dramatic shows in the Colosseum. But not all gladiators were human, animals were also forced to entertain the people of Rome. Let's go back in time and see how wild animals were caught in the African jungle and brought to Rome, forced to fight against man and against each other.

Six legendary gladiators. One epic tale of blood and glory in ancient Rome.
