Ben Hur

In first-century Judea, Jewish prince Judah Ben-Hur is falsely accused of assassinating a Roman governor, and sentenced to life as a galley slave. His fortunes are reversed when he saves the captains life and he returns, determined to seek his revenge against those who have brought misfortune to both himself and his family. His life becomes intertwined with that of Christs, and after witnessing His teachings and eventual crucifixion Ben-Hur discovers the redemptive power of forgiveness.
