Where to watch:
Section 1
Before you watch the movie!
Let’s start by watching the trailer. Enjoy!
- Now, based on the trailer and your knowledge, which of the 3 plots below is the correct one?
Option 1:
After being captured by slaves, a man is forced to become a gladiator to save his wife and the city of Milano.
Sorry! That’s innacurate. The movie is not in Milan, and he is not fighting to save his wife.
Option 2:
After being captured, a couple is forced to enter the Colosseum and must find strength in their children to save them from the city of Rome.
That’s incorrect. There is only one gladiator, not a couple. Also, no children are in the plot.
Option 3:
After being captured, a man is forced to enter the Colosseum and must find strength to save himself and the city of Rome.
That’s it! Get ready for a fantastic historical experience!
