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. Rife with Monty Python's signature absurdity, the tale finds Brian's life paralleling Biblical lore, albeit with many more laughs.
Absurdist chaos reigns as a bewildered man is mistaken for a religious icon by a crowd of equally ridiculous zealots. This sharp satire dismantles dogma through relentless, lightning-fast wit and brilliantly silly sketches.
