No matter where you're from!
This ship is your body!
That drum is your heartbeat!
And your God is the Glory of Rome!
Brace for impact!!!
How long were you a slave?
Five years.
What is your name?
Ben-Hur.
My family was one of the most respected in Jerusalem.
Welcome home.
Please! I need you to tell me who Rome's enemies are!
Messala, I won't name names.
Until we were betrayed.
By my own brother.
Messala!
You know we've done nothing wrong!
Rome's calling for blood.
- Crucify them. - NOOOO!!!
The world you live in is Rome's.
Their laws.
Their power.
I won't let Messala go unpunished for what he's done to us.
Our mother and sister.
Was it a quick death?!
Coward!
My family, they deserve justice for what's happened to them.
There is a way.
In the arena...
there is no law.
Racing is a blood sport.
If you lose...
you die.
But your brother is the pride of Rome.
Defeat him, and you'll defeat an Empire.
Then you will have your vengeance.
You have a voice. People would follow you. I would follow you.
Go! Go! Go!
Should've stayed away.
You should've killed me.
I will.
Remember...
first to finish
last to die.
Come on!
Are we having fun now, brother?!
Stand and fight!
Stand up, now!
