Story Synopsis

Winner of 11 Academy Awards®—including Best Picture—Ben-Hur, is an epic of spectacular proportions...and one well-worth both it’s critical and commercial acclaim. It tells the story of Judah Ben-Hur (Heston, in his Oscar®-winning role), who lived at same time as Jesus Christ (met him a few times, too). Ben-Hur is a Jewish nobleman whose life is fraught with trouble after being falsely accused of attempted murder. He is taken away from his family and forced into slavery. But he is determined to exact revenge on those who accused him.
