Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ

Childhood friends Judah Ben-Hur and Messala reunite as adults, with Messala now a Roman officer and Judah a wealthy Israelite. However, their reunion takes a dark turn when Judah is sentenced to slavery after an accident during a Roman parade, leading to the confiscation of his property and the imprisonment of his family. Years later, Judah returns to his homeland as a successful Roman athlete, driven by a desire for revenge against Messala after failing to find his mother and sister.
