Oscar-winning actor Russell Crowe on Tuesday took a look back at the movie Gladiator which was released 20 years ago today.
The widely lauded movie was released in the US on May 5, 2000.
The 56-year-old actor took to Twitter and wrote: "20 years ago today Gladiator was released in cinemas in the United States ... Strength and Honour ..."
Helmed by director Ridley Scott, the action drama won the Best Picture and Best Actor award at the Oscars and went on to make $460 million at the box office worldwide.
Gladiator, which released in 2000, featured Russell Crowe as Maximus, a General in the Roman army, who is betrayed by the Emperor and left for dead while his family is brutally murdered.
He is eventually forced to become a gladiator after being captured by slave traders, who lead him back to Rome to fight as a gladiator while he plots his revenge against the Emperor who betrayed him.
Crowe has proved his caliber as an actor in movies like The Insider, and A Beautiful Mind, but the portrayal of Maximus remains one of his finest performances. ANI
