You wash ashore,
[Music playing]
shackled.
You are an escaped prisoner ...
How long were you a galley slave?
Five years...
[Music playing]
What is your name?
Judah Ben-Hur.
[Music playing]
My family was one of the most respected in Jerusalem.
Messala, you'll always be my brother.
I'm an orphan your father took in.
Until the Romans came.
Subversion will be met with crucifixion.
Down with the Romans.
Love your enemies.
God is love, He has a path for you
If he has already decided my path, how am I better off than a slave?
Why don't you ask her?
And then we were betrayed ...
... by my own brother.
You know I've done nothing wrong.
Rome is calling for blood, I have to give them something.
[Music playing]
Where are you taking him?
Thank you.
You'd do the same.
The world you live in is Rome.
Their laws ...
Brace for impact!
[chain swinging]
... their power.
You cannot defeat them in the streets.
My family, they deserve justice for what's happened.
Should've stayed away.
You should have killed me.
I will.
(Horse running)
Ha!!
[Music playing]
Are we having fun now, Brother!
It's faith that kept you alive, Judah.
[Music playing]
Jesus showed you kindness when no one else would.
[Music playing]
Go, go!
[Music playing]
There is another way.
[Music playing]
My life, I give it of my own free will.
