(2000) DVD chapters.indigo Review All one has to do is envision the mesmerizing chariot-race scene to understand why this film became such an instant classic, winning an astounding 11 Oscars. But Ben-Hur is much more than just a flawlessly directed action flick; it’s also a superbly acted, marvellously crafted look at life in the time of Christ, when many had begun to rebel against the ruthless tyranny of the Roman Empire. Charleton Heston is perfect as the strong-willed Jewish man who saves a Roman and becomes his friend, only to later become his most bitter enemy. Ben-Hur learns to fight Roman oppression and eventually, under the guiding hand of Christ himself, converts to Christianity and learns to forgive his oppressors. This excellent DVD edition contains commentary by Heston, a making-of documentary, an on the set photo gallery and loads of priceless features.

Gallery Description One of the cinema's greatest epics because it's based on a compelling human story of revenge, bitterness, redemption and forgiveness. Heston is magnificent as the Prince of Judea, Ben Hur, who confronts the conquering Romans. His actions send him and his family into slavery - and an inspirational encounter with Jesus. The story moves from Judea to imperial Rome and back to Judea where Heston finally meets his rival Messala in a justly famous chariot race and rescues his suffering family - after once again encountering Jesus, this time on his way to Golgotha. This was a production of unheard of scale, exhibiting the work of literally tens of thousands of people. The 1880 novel by Lew Wallace had previously been made to great acclaim in 1927 with Ramon Navarro. The 35th Anniversary edition, which runs 282 minutes, includes an exclusive documentary narrated by Christopher Plummer on the making of the film, behind-the-scenes footage, screen tests, cast interviews and the film's original trailer. Academy Award Nominations: 12, including Best (Adapted) Screenplay. Academy Awards: 11, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor--Charlton Heston, Best Supporting Actor--Hugh Griffith.
