About
Rent on Apple TV+ or buy on Apple TV+.
Epic account of the thief Barabbas, who was pardoned for his crimes and spared crucifixion when Pilate offered the Israelites a choice to pardon Barabbas or Jesus. Struggling with his spirituality, Barabbas goes through many ordeals leading him to the gladiatorial arena, where he tries to win his freedom and confront his inner demons, ultimately becoming a follower of the man who was crucified in his place.
Instead of a traditional saintly biopic, this sprawling epic focuses on a hardened criminal grappling with a sudden, unwanted salvation. The massive scale of the production captures the dust and brutality of Roman Judea through visceral gladiatorial combat and sweeping desert vistas.
