Ben Hur (DVD, 1959).
A rich and glowing drama that
transcends the bounds of spectacle!"
- Bosley Crowther,
THE NEW YORK TIMES
The numbers speak volumes: 100,000 costumes, 8,000
extras, 300 sets and a staggering budget that in its day
was the largest in movie history. But impressive
numbers don't tell the whole story. Because Ben-Hur's
creators didn't just make it big. They made it the best,
the greatest Biblical-era epic ever.
Charlton Heston brings a muscular physical and
moral presence to the role of Judah Ben-Hur, a
Tewish nobleman in Palestine, whose heroic odyssey
includes enslavement by the
Romans, a bold escape from an
embattled slave galley, vengeance
against his tormentors during a furious
arena chariot race and fateful encounters with
Jesus Christ. Heston's charismatic performance brought him the Best
Actor Oscar? The winner of 1959's Best Picture, with the legendary
William Wyler earning his third Best Director trophy, the film won a total
11 Academy Awards* - a tally unequaled until 1997's Titanic set sail.
