"The Duellists" (Ridley Scott, 1977) with Harvey Keitel and Keith Carradine. A story of one man caught up in another man's obsession, as they fight a series of duels through the years of the Napoleonic Wars and after. Keitel is an absolutely brilliant villain as the psychopathic Feraud.

The USA is no longer a republic, at all. It is a principate, with all elements of government persisting as mere pro forma imitations of their former functions. Congress and the SCOTUS only serve as rubber stamps.
It would be a state of affairs instantly recognisable to a Roman of 2000 years ago.
