Ridley Scott’s Gladiator II has a easy plot. Lucius Verus Aurelius, aka “Hanno,” the grandson of the previous emperor Marcus Aurelius and son of the primary movie’s protagonist, Maximus Decimus Meridius, picks up the place his father left off. After rising up in Numidia, he will get captured throughout a battle and introduced again to Rome to function a gladiator. His time in captivity seems to be a blessing in disguise because it permits him to reunite along with his mom, and reclaim his rightful place within the Roman aristocracy.
