Gladiator (1991)
description written by member Thom:
Before Russell Crowe toppled the Empire of Rome, James Marshall (A Few

(Brian Dennehy).
Gladiator features fish-out-of-water white boy Ghost (Marshall) and

is promising to take Lincoln pro until he meets Ghost, the great white
hope. Both Ghost and Lincoln want their shot, but are they willing to
kill each other to get it?
