Gladiators were warriors that fought for only one purpose and that was to entertain the people and put on a good show. The general thought that gladiators are slaves is inaccurate because some of them were just volunteers that wanted to be a star. The fights were also made fair, not like the gladiator movies, because most of the fights were put together by weight, size, and experience in the arena. Also, there were refs to control the fights and make sure it didn't get out of hand.
How movies portray gladiators is almost completely false including how often they fought animals. Gladiators fighting animals was very rare occurrence. Also Gladiators weren't all men there were also women gladiators and most of the female gladiators were slaves. Gladiators weren't just slaves contained were they could do nothing, some of them were celebrities and sex symbols. Gladiators were like the modern Hollywood pop stars, except not as high maintenance and a lot less brutal.
