Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ

“Amazing! Thrilling! Colossal! Mighty!”

Judah Ben-Hur (Ramon Novarro), a wealthy Jewish prince in Jerusalem, wants nothing more than to keep his family's name and his friendship with Messala (Francis X. Bushman), the Roman tribune he grew up beside. Fred Niblo directs this silent epic, adapted from Lew Wallace's 1880 novel. When Messala betrays him and has him sent to the galleys as a slave, Judah's home, his freedom, and his family are all at stake.
