Sinopsis Gladiator II:
16 years after the death of Roman heroes Marcus Aurelius (Richard Harris) and Maximus Decimus Meridius (Russel Crowe), Rome has fallen into the reign of the twin emperors, Geta (Joseph Quinn) and Caracalla (Fred Hechinger). Their rule is marked by tyranny, suffering, poverty, and bloodshed in Rome. Lucius (Paul Mescal), the son of Maximus and Lucilla (Connie Neilson), having been sent away by his mother for his protection at an early age has grown up to be a Numidian warrior having no contact with his mother. However, when his wife is killed by General Marcus Acacius (Pedro Pascal) in a Roman invasion, Lucius’ destiny gets intertwined once again with his father’s, wherein he is captured as a slave by Macrinus (Denzel Washington), a power hungry gladiator trainer and tradesman. Lucius soon realizes him becoming a gladiator to seek vengeance for his wife’s murder, and Numidia’s capture extends to a much greater purpose which is connected to his noble birth as the heir to Rome.
