A Jewish prince, Judah Ben-Hur, is betrayed by his Roman childhood friend and sent into slavery. Through years of hardship, he survives and vows revenge. His path intersects with the ministry of Jesus Christ, and his quest for vengeance is ultimately transformed by messages of forgiveness and faith, set against the backdrop of the Roman Empire.
