BEN-HUR: A TALE OF THE CHRIST
"Amazing! Thrilling! Colossal! Mighty!"
Directed by Fred Niblo
Erstwhile childhood friends, Judah Ben-Hur and Messala meet again as adults, this time with Roman officer Messala as conqueror and Judah as a wealthy, though conquered, Israelite. A slip of a brick during a Roman parade causes Judah to be sent off as a galley slave, his property confiscated and his mother and sister imprisoned.
