Ben Hur

Die Geschichte

Als Judah Ben-Hurs Jugendfreund Messala, der ihm einst das Leben rettete, nach Jerusalem kommt, um dort neuer römischer Kommandant zu werden, ist die Wiedersehensfreude auf beiden Seiten groß. Die Freundschaft zwischen Messala und Judah wird auf die Probe gestellt, als Judah die jüdischen Aufständischen verraten soll. Nachdem bei einer römischen Parade der neue Statthalter vor Judahs Haus schwer verletzt wird, verdächtigt man Judah und seine Familie des Attentats. Unschuldig in den Kerkern gefangen, schwört Judah sich blutig für das begangene Unrecht an Messala zu rächen. Mit seiner Verbannung auf eine Galeere beginnt für den stolzen Judah eine Odyssee, die ihn von den Meeren über die Wagenrennen in Rom Jahre später wieder nach Jerusalem bringt, wo Judah hofft, seine Familie zu finden und seine Rachepläne zu vollenden.
