Items In Movies You Might Be Interested InProduct Details of Ben-Hur Fiftieth Anniversary DVDDescription Anno Domini: the seventh year of Augustus Caesar's reign. In the Roman province of Judea, Jews return to the city of their birth for the census. A bright star in the night over Bethlehem marks the birth of Jesus Christ. Years later, Roman commander Messala (Stephen Boyd), who was brought up in Judea, takes command of the Roman garrison in Jerusalem. His Jewish boyhood friend Judah Ben-Hur (Charlton Heston) greets him. Messala is delighted. But when Judah refuses to name Jewish patriots, Messala sentences him to the slave galleys and imprisons his mother, Miriam (Martha Scott), and sister, Tirzah (Cathy O'Donnell). Judah vows revenge. In BEN-HUR, William Wyler's much-lauded epic, the story of Judah's search for his mother and sister and his quest for revenge intersects with crucial biblical events such as the Sermon on the Mount and the crucifixion. Wyler gets fine performances from Heston, Boyd, Jack Hawkins (as a Roman admiral who befriends Judah), and Hugh Griffith (as an Arab sheik who dreams of racing his beautiful white horses against Messala). Among BEN-HUR's vivid dramatic sequences are a violent sea battle and the famous chariot race that pits Judah against Messala in one of cinema's great action sequences.

Ben-Hur Fiftieth Anniversary DVDI put this one up there with the greats. Charlton Heston was unforgetable, along with a very good supporting cast.

Ben-Hur Fiftieth Anniversary DVDOne of the best historical dramas ever produced. William Wyler did a great job showing the dissolving friendship of Judah Ben-Hur and Messala. I liked the chariot race, but it was predictable. Heston did an average job. A bit on the long end at over 3 1/2 hours, but a classic nonetheless.

Ben-Hur Fiftieth Anniversary DVDReal tripe. Starring the worst actor ever puked out onto the public by the Hollywood star system. A tremendous bore.

Ben-Hur Fiftieth Anniversary DVDThe chariot race sequence in this film might be 15 of the best minutes in film history. However, the film's not perfect- it's a little old and corny like much of the films from this era. Just a terrific story. . .Ben Hur couldn't be made today with the way films are produced. I'm not a religous person, but I simply enjoyed this story of a person's quest for revenge and redemption. What a shame I...

Ben-Hur Fiftieth Anniversary DVDI bet I'll change this to a higher rating once I see it on the big screen. I can tell it's that kind of movie. TV can't be doing it justice.

Ben-Hur Fiftieth Anniversary DVDI would put Ben-Hur in my top 15. The movie was incredible, particularly the chariot race and the scene with the slaves rowing the ship faster and faster. However, I did not like the ending. I feel that the end (spoiler coming up) made a pro-religious statement. By curing everyone, the movie said that Jesus was the son of God and could magically cure people. Before this, the movie portrayed Jesus... Advertisement

Ben-Hur Fiftieth Anniversary DVD
Five stars on the big screen, probably three and a half on television. Heston at his best.
