Synopsis
Judas Ben‐Hur, prince de Judée, retrouve son ami d’enfance Messala, venu prendre la tête de la garnison de Jérusalem. Mais leur amitié ne peut résister à leurs caractères différents. Alors qu’une pierre tombe du balcon de la maison familiale de Ben‐Hur, manquant de tuer le gouverneur qui paradait plus bas, Messala trahit son ami qu’il sait innocent en l’envoyant aux galères et en jetant en prison sa mère et sa sœur. Ben‐Hur jure alors de reconquérir sa liberté et prépare sa vengeance.
