1927 · Cecil B. DeMille

Using one of Hollywood’s largest budgets of the late 1920s, Cecil B. DeMille staged a sweeping silent-era portrayal of Jesus’ life and Passion that plays out like a monumental religious pageant.

Simultaneously solemn and breathtaking, it aims to move the heart as much as to awe the eye.
