Ridley Scott's film Gladiator changed the definition of epics and received an Academy Award for Russell Crowe as he played the betrayed Roman general in a quest for revenge. The compelling storyline of honor, betrayal, and vengeance in this film combined with jaw-dropping battle sequences to capture everyone's imagination on earth. Gladiator became a benchmark for historical epics, and films like Troy and 300 were influenced by it. It was a commercial success at the box office and the Oscars, and it stands as one of the greatest films of the 21st century.
