General Maximus battles the savages in Germania: ‘At my signal unleash hell.’ Emperor Marcus Aurelius is watching.
Bourne Wood (also known as Bourne Woods) is an area of predominantly coniferous woodland just south of Farnham. Locally it was known as the Clumps, and was called this until the forestry commission changed the name in the 1950s. Since 1999, part of Bourne Wood has been frequently used as a location for filming movies, television series and music videos, most notably the opening battle scenes of the film Gladiator.

In the year 180, the death of emperor Marcus Aurelius throws the Roman Empire into chaos. Maximus is one of the Roman army's most capable and trusted generals and a key advisor to the emperor. As Marcus' devious son Commodus ascends to the throne, Maximus is set to be executed. He escapes, but is captured by slave traders. Renamed Spaniard and forced to become a gladiator, Maximus must battle to the death with other men for the amusement of paying audiences.
