"He's not the messiah...he's just a naughty boy."

19791h 34m7.8 TMDb

Directed by Terry Jones

Spoiler-Free

Brian Cohen is an average young Jewish man, but through a series of ridiculous events, he gains a reputation as the Messiah. When he's not dodging his followers or being scolded by his shrill mother, the hapless Brian has to contend with the pompous Pontius Pilate and acronym-obsessed members of a separatist movement.
