Directed by William Wyler and starring Charlton Heston, this classic film follows the story of Judah Ben-Hur, a Jewish prince betrayed and enslaved by his Roman friend. The film is still popular for its epic grand scale and compelling narrative, and of course the chariot race scene. It explores the themes of revenge and redemption which make it relevant even today.
