It won a record 11 Academy Awards, including Best Picture (Zimbalist), Best Director (Wyler), and Best Actor in a Leading Role (Heston).

THE FILM’S PREMISE

The winner of 11 Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actor. Ben-Hur stands as one of the greatest Hollywood epics ever filmed. A member of the Jewish nobility living in Jerusalem, Judah Ben-Hur (Charlton Heston) lives a religious life. He peacefully opposes Rome’s tyrannical occupation of Judea. When a boyhood friend, Messala (Stephen Boyd), returns to the region as a Roman official, he and Judah become estranged. This is due to Messala’s fanatical loyalty to Rome and ruthless indifference to the fate of Judea. Casting friendship aside, Messala fabricates a treason charge. This charge is against Ben-Hur, his sister, and his mother. Roman soldiers arrest all of them.
