About Museum Movie Night: Roman Scotland

Join our first Member Movie Night to watch the 2000 Ridley Scott epic, ‘Gladiator.’

Our exhibition curator for 'Roman Scotland: Life on the Edge of Empire' will discuss the film's historical accuracies and inaccuracies ahead of the screening.

Gladiator (2000), Rated 15

Runtime: 2h 35m

'Gladiator’ is an epic historical drama that follows a once-powerful Roman general who is betrayed and sold into slavery.

He rises through the ranks of the gladiator arena, driven by revenge and a desire for justice against the corrupt emperor who wronged him.
