The original Gladiator film starred Russell Crowe, Djimon Hounsou, Joaquin Phoenix and Connie Nielsen, who reprises her role in the sequel. Directed by Ridley Scott (who also returns for Gladiator II), the film was a critical and commercial success, winning five Academy Awards, including Best Picture, and Best Actor for Crowe, and grossing more than $465 million worldwide.
