Plot

The last weeks of the life of Jesus, from his entry into Jerusalem to the crucifixion and resurrection.

Sinekatalog’s take

Cecil B. DeMille's silent epic retells the last weeks of Jesus with grand sets, a Technicolor resurrection and H.B. Warner's dignified Christ. Reverent and showy in equal measure, it was a huge hit of the 1920s.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
