The Gladiators (1969)
La guerra es tratada como un evento deportivo en la que dos partes se enfrentan en un conflicto bajo la supervisión de unos ‘oficiales’. Los ‘juegos’ se desarrollan de forma similar a un programa de televisión. Watkins pretende con esta película ilustrar la vaciedad de la guerra, caricaturizando a los líderes políticos y la forma en la que utilizan argucias para empujar a sus tropas a la victoria.
