Mucizevi bir hamilelik. Merhametsiz bir kral. Ölesiye bir kovalamaca. Meryem'in İsa'yı dünyaya getirdiği yolculuğu, İncil'e dayalı bu destanda açığa çıkıyor.
From his birth in Bethlehem to his death and eventual resurrection, the life of Jesus Christ is given the all-star treatment in this epic retelling. Major aspects of Christ's life are touched upon, including the execution of all the newborn males in Egypt by King Herod; Christ's baptism by John the Baptist; and the betrayal by Judas after the Last Supper that eventually leads to Christ's crucifixion and miraculous return.
Taken into slavery after the fall of Jerusalem in 605 B.C., Daniel is forced to serve the most powerful king in the world, King Nebuchadnezzar. Faced with imminent death, Daniel proves himself a trusted Advisor and is placed among the king's wise men. Threatened by death at every turn Daniel never ceases to serve the king until he is forced to choose between serving the king or honoring God. With his life at stake, Daniel has nothing but his faith to stand between him and the lions' den.
Who is Jesus, and why does he impact all he meets? He is respected and reviled, emulated and accused, beloved, betrayed, and finally crucified. Yet that terrible fate would not be the end of the story.
Peygamberler Tarihi, İncil'in Yaratılış bölümünü (Adem ile Havva'dan Nuh Tufanı'na kadar) epik bir sinema diliyle aktarıyor. Huston aynı zamanda Nuh rolüyle kamera karşısına geçiyor. Film, görsel efektleri ve Toshiro Mayuzumi'nin bestelediği senfonik müziklerle döneminin ötesinde bir teknik sunuyor.
