Hi this is Steve. After almost four years as a slave in the galleys, Judah Benher has returned

to Judea to find his mother and sister and take revenge on the Robin Tribune Masala who condemned his family and destroyed his life.

And that revenge does come in one of the greatest action sequences ever filmed, a jaw-dropping

chariot race.

But Ben Hur is more than a revenge story.

Its full title after all is Ben Hur a tale of the Christ,

and the true theme of this film is actually one of Redemption.

It's this Redemption which elevates Ben Her and makes it worthy of those 11 Academy Awards.

We can't recommend this movie enough, and if you haven't't seen it you can always pick up a copy at

our website cineophiles dot net so that's act two of William Wyler's Ben Her

this Friday on the cinnophiles.

It was should have been her I loved.

What has become of him?

You seem to be now the very thing you set out to destroy, giving evil for evil.

Hatred is turning you to stone.

It's as though you had become a sala. Hello and welcome once again to the cinnophiles where each week we enter the world of a great film

we explore its themes history filmmaking and the influence it has on us today.
