Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ
When Judah Ben-Hur survives an almost certain death sentence for a crime he did not commit, he begins a quest for vengeance. Angry at God and man alike, he embarks on a journey toward relief and revenge. But satisfaction eludes Judah's anger-wrought spirit. When he meets a Judean prophet who preaches a message of peace, he must decide-will he follow this new prophet? Or will bitterness and regret consume him for all time?
Based on the novel by Lew Wallace.
