From his birth in Bethlehem to his death and eventual resurrection, the life of Jesus Christ is given the all-star treatment in this epic retelling. Major aspects of Christ's life are touched upon, including the execution of all the newborn males in Egypt by King Herod; Christ's baptism by John the Baptist; and the betrayal by Judas after the Last Supper that eventually leads to Christ's crucifixion and miraculous return.
Massive, sweeping vistas and a sprawling ensemble cast transform this biblical chronicle into a visual spectacle that feels more like an ancient epic than a standard religious biopic. This production swaps intimate devotion for grand, cinematic scale to capture the monumental milestones of a life changing the course of history.
