“A member of the Jewish nobility living in Jerusalem, Judah Ben-Hur lives a religious life and peacefully opposes the tyrannical occupation of Judea by Rome,” reads the official synopsis. “When a boyhood friend, Messala, returns to the region as a Roman official, he and Judah become estranged due to Messala’s fanatical loyalty to Rome and ruthless indifference to the fate of Judea. Casting friendship aside, Messala fabricates a charge of treason against Ben-Hur, his sister, and mother, all of whom are arrested by Roman soldiers.”
