During the first century A.D., Judah Ben-Hur is a young Hebrew prince thrown into slavery by the Romans after a tragic accident, who wins his way back to his home and family on a heroic adventure of discovery and faith. Judah’s love for a beautiful slave girl is threatened by the bitter conflict dividing two former friends, and his bitter triumph in the chariot arena is set against the backdrop of the historic struggle between a captive people and a mighty empire, and the emergence of early Christianity. From an exciting sea battle and a thundering chariot race to the dramatic events surrounding the life and death of Jesus Christ, this is an epic tale of love, redemption, forgiveness and faith to captivate viewers of all ages. Charlton Heston reprises his Academy Award-winning role as the voice of Judah Ben-Hur, collaborating with his son, executive-producer Fraser C. Heston.
