lives as a rich Jewish prince and merchant in
Jerusalem at the beginning of the 1st
century. Together with the new governor his
old friend Messala arrives as commanding
officer of the Roman legions. At first they
are happy to meet after a long time but their
different politic views separate them. During
the welcome parade a brick falls down from
Judah's house and barely misses the governor.
Although Messala knows that they are not
guilty he sends Judah to the galleys and
throws his mother and sister into prison. But
Judah swears to come back and take revenge. Buy this movie ! |
