Ben-Hur is a prince in Judea during the time of Jesus, nearly 2,000 years ago. His life experienced great changes. The Romans occupied his country, and they were ruthless and merciless to anyone who opposed them. Jerusalem was in constant rebellion. Ben-Hur had lived a comfortable and carefree life until fate twisted his life into an irreversible cycle. His story is a story of hatred, but it is also a story of love. Centuries later, a Jewish boy living in modern-day Israel is deeply moved by this story of suffering and revenge.
