Description
A collection of films from acclaimed director Ridley Scott.
Gladiator (2000): The great Roman General Maximus (Russell Crowe) has
once again led the legions to victory on the battlefield. The war won, Maximus
dreams of home, wanting only to return to his wife and son; however, the dying
Emperor Marcus Aurelius (Richard Harris) has one more duty for the general - to
assume the mantle of his power.
Jealous of Maximus' favor with the emperor, the heir to the throne, Commodus
(Joaquin Phoenix), orders his execution - and that of his family. Barely
escaping death, Maximus is forced into slavery and trained as a gladiator in the
arena where his fame grows.
Now he has come to Rome, intent on avenging the murder of his wife and son by
killing the new emperor; Commodus....
Black Hawk Down (2002) Somalia, October 1993. Stationed outside the
capital Mogadishu, a group of U.S. Special Forces are present as part of a
United Nations peace keeping force. Food supplies and aid for the starving
population are often seized by the army of ruling warlord Mohammad Farrah Aidid,
who has proved elusive to the U.S forces. Intent on toppling his rule, Major
General William Garrison (Sam Shepard) is content for now with planning to seize
Aidid's lieutenants. It's with this intention that he sends a squad of Rangers
and Delta commandos deep into hostile territory in Mogadishu, but his best laid
plans go awry when the troops find themselves engaged in a hellish shooting
match...
With its harrowing, state-of-the-art depiction of combat, Ridley Scott's Black
Hawk Down stands as one of the most visceral and frightening portraits of what
it's like to be caught up in a war situation.
GI Jane (1997): Moore stars as gutsy Lieutenant O'Neil, the first woman ever
given the opportunity to earn a place in the armed forces' most highly skilled
combat unit - the elite Navy Seals! But the already brutal rigors of training
camp turn into an unimaginable test of courage and determination once it becomes
clear that no one - powerful politicians, top military brass or her male Navy
SEAL teammates - wants her to succeed!
Hannibal (2001): Having escaped the asylum in Silence Of The Lambs Dr
Lecter goes into hiding in Florence. Back in America, Mason Verger, an old
victim of the doctor's, seeks revenge. Disfigured and confined to a life-support
system, he plans to draw Lecter out of his hiding place, using the one thing he
truly cares for: Clarice Starling...
Someone To Watch Over Me (1987): A stunning New York socialite and a
down-to-earth city cop are caught in a deadly web of illicit passion and
heart-stopping suspense in this taut, stylish thriller.
Newly-appointed detective Mike Keegan (Tom Berenger) finds his life turned
upside-down when he's assigned to protect Claire Gregory (Mimi Rogers), the
beautiful eyewitness to a brutal murder. Lured into danger and the dizzying
heights of Gregory's glamorous lifestyle, Keegan struggles to walk the line
between protection and obsession - while trying to stay one step ahead of the
psychotic killer...
