Gladiator
harkens back to the 'sword and sandals' epics of the 1950's and 1960's. The
film draws story elements from The
Fall of the Roman Empire and Spartacus.
It also draws on the epic look of the city of Rome and a story that crosses
much of the Roman Empire much like what can be found in Ben-Hur
and Cleopatra.
