The Gladiator (1986)

In the shadowy streets of the city, a malevolent motorist known as "Skull" prowls, wielding his "death car" with lethal precision. After the merciless murder of his brother by this deranged driver, Rick Benton, a master mechanic, embarks on a relentless quest for vengeance. Transmuting his grief into action, he repurposes his pickup into a formidable force of retribution: an armed, agile vehicle engineered for both speed and strength. As the self-anointed vigilante "Gladiator", he patrols the nocturnal roads, hunting down reckless motorists who exploit their driving privileges. However, as Rick's citizen's arrests escalate, the law enforcement grows increasingly wary of this rogue justice-bringer. A cat-and-mouse game ensues, with the police striving to apprehend the Gladiator before his vigilante justice spirals out of control. Yet, the ultimate showdown looms in the shadows: will the Gladiator confront Skull before the police can catch him? In a world where the roads become arenas of life and death, 'The Gladiator' (1986) is a high-octane tale of revenge, justice, and redemption. As Rick's career as a vigilante hurtles towards a potentially deadly climax, the lines blur between avenger and outlaw, protector and predator. The streets await the fatal duel between the Gladiator and Skull, a battle that could signal the end of Rick's crusade as the vigilante. The stakes are high, the engines are revving, and the city's fate hangs in the balance.
