Maximus is a powerful Roman general, loved by the people and the aging Emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Before his death, the Emperor chooses Maximus to be his heir over his own son, Commodus, and a power struggle leaves Maximus and his family condemned to death. The powerful general is unable to save his family, and his loss of will allows him to get captured and put into the Gladiator games until he dies. The only desire that fuels him now is the chance to rise to the top so that he will be able to look into the eyes of the man who will feel his revenge.

Interesting that you associate Christianity with Judaism. Most fools see them as opposites. In reality, Christianity began as a Jewish sect, a rebellion against the corrupt Pharisees. Jesus threw the loan sharks out of the temple. They were exploiting their own people.
Christianity became the ultimate weapon against Greek and Roman religion. It destroyed it. It's as if Yahweh smote Zeus.

Commodus was emperor but fought as a gladiator. However, you know it was rigged so he would win. What a hypocrite. Not a fan. I'm glad he was killed.
