King of Kings
Of good and evil, of love and hate, of peace and war.
Directed by Nicholas Ray
Produced by Samuel Bronston Productions, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer
A reverent, spiritually ambitious biographical epic about Jesus Christ that balances the suffering of crucifixion with redemptive hope and the transformative power of faith.
Who is Jesus, and why does he impact all he meets? He is respected and reviled, emulated and accused, beloved, betrayed, and finally crucified. Yet that terrible fate would not be the end of the story.
