After the death of Emperor Marcus Aurelius, his devious son takes power and demotes Maximus, one of Rome's most capable generals who Marcus preferred. Eventually, Maximus is forced to become a gladiator and battle to the death against other men for the amusement of paying audiences.

Editor's Verdict

❌NO

"Gladiator is a historical epic centered on Roman politics, revenge, and combat. There are absolutely no explicit or thematic connections to Christmas present in the film."
