This a new version of the epic film 'Ben Hur'. The film is in English but the subtitles are in Spanish.
This is not a true story. It is set in Jerusalem, during the time when Jesus Christ was still alive. The main characters are Judah Ben Hur and Messala Judah comes from a wealthy Jewish family while Messala comes from a Roman family. The two have been very good friends since they were children. When they grow up, Judah becomes a wealthy merchant while Messala becomes a Roman general.
On a particular day, while a parade of Roman soldiers was passing in front of the Ben Hur's house, a tile accidentally fell off their facade and almost killed a Roman general. Although Messala knew it was an accident, he sent Judah as a slave on board a military ship while his mother and sister were sent to life in prison.
Through good fortune, Judah manages to free himself from slavery and returns to Jerusalem to have his revenge against Messala and free his mother and sister. Does he manage to have his revenge? Does he manage to liberate his beloved mother and sister? What does Jess has got to do with all this?
