Ben-Hur

Ben-Hur is a timeless epic that holds a special place in the hearts of movie enthusiasts. Released in 1959, this historical drama film, directed by William Wyler, captivated audiences with its gripping storyline, stunning visuals, and unforgettable performances.

The star-studded cast of Ben-Hur features Charlton Heston in the titular role of Judah Ben-Hur, a Jewish prince living during the time of Jesus Christ. Heston's portrayal of the spirited prince who endures tremendous suffering and seeks vengeance is nothing short of magnificent. His intensity and commitment to the character make Ben-Hur a truly memorable protagonist.

Supporting Heston's incredible performance is a talented ensemble cast, including Jack Hawkins as Quintus Arrius, the Roman officer who saves Ben-Hur's life and becomes his mentor. Hugh Griffith delivers a standout performance as Sheik Ilderim, a shrewd Arab who aids Ben-Hur in his quest for redemption. Stephen Boyd shines as Messala, the childhood friend turned fierce rival of Ben-Hur, creating a compelling dynamic between the two characters.

While the cast plays a vital role in the success of Ben-Hur, the film's grandeur lies in its sweeping scope and breathtaking set pieces. The iconic chariot race scene is considered one of the most thrilling sequences in cinematic history. The roaring chariots, thundering hooves, and the intense rivalry between Ben-Hur and Messala create an electrifying atmosphere that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats. More than six decades later, this scene still captivates audiences and is celebrated for its technical excellence.

Beyond its remarkable action sequences, Ben-Hur explores themes of faith, redemption, and forgiveness. The story takes place during Jesus Christ's life and crucifixion, and throughout the film, his presence and teachings influence the protagonist. The culminating scene, where Judah Ben-Hur witnesses the crucifixion, is deeply moving, emphasizing the transformative power of compassion and forgiveness.

Accompanying the stunning visuals and compelling narrative is an extraordinary musical score by Miklós Rózsa. The majestic and sweeping melodies perfectly match the grandeur of the film, creating a profound emotional impact on the audience. Rózsa's score earned him an Academy Award for Best Original Score, further cementing Ben-Hur's place as a cinematic masterpiece.

If you are a fan of classic cinema or simply appreciate epic tales, Ben-Hur is a must-watch film that continues to hold its own in the annals of movie history. Its timeless themes and expert filmmaking make it a remarkable viewing experience that still resonates with audiences today.

A bench, quickly.
A bit grim.
A great victory.
A grown man knows the world he lives in.
A king of the ****, who will lead them into some sort of anti Roman paradise.
A long life, young Arrius and the good sense to live it.
A long while ago.
A man gave me water to drink.
A man more than a man.
A month's less a day in this ship.
A new fountain and a new Tirzah. You've grown up.
A sane man would have learned to lose it long before this.
A strange darkness. . .
A thousand talents it will be.
A thousand talents?
A tremendous campaign.
Abadon, stop him!
After all these years!
Agreed.
Ah, well, then perhaps you will come back.
Aisle one, face right!
Aldebaran.
All right, all right.
All right, on your feet, all of you!
All the watch to battle posts.
All who are born in this land hereafter can suffer as we have done.
Allow us to be generous.
Almost at the moment He died. . .
Alms for the blind?
Alms for the blind?
Alms for the blind?
Altair, Aldebaran, go to sleep.
Amber and jade for me. Silk for Tirzah.
And a carpenter's son who does magic tricks. "Miracles" they call them.
And a safe return to Antioch.
And all you need do is help me serve him.
And also. . . .
And for the master, lberian wine.
And for the present, the world is Rome.
And from a man I've never met.
And God lived in this child.
And here it is. Nothing has changed.
And I felt His voice take the sword out of my hand.
And I tell you, the day Rome falls there will be a shout of freedom. . .
And I've been here three years. But they're alive all right.
And if you should find. . .?
And Judea's not fond of the emperor.
And let me hear how you raced in Rome.
And long ago.
And now for our toast.
And now I must say good night to my beauties.
And now. . .
And now. . .
And once a year, I find myself wealthier.
And our intention true.
And take my advice, my friend. Buy yourself some wives.
And that is because he is traveling. At home, he has more.
And the head of one of the greatest families in Judea.
And the man, I know it now, is the Son of God.
And the woman?
And tomorrow, I shall put Antares on the inside.
And what of Numidia?
And when you do, bring your friends, your wives.
And you cannot win alone. You must wait for the others.
And your way is to kill him.
Are we to bear nothing together?
Are you a madman? Keep well out of this place.
As a reward to you for your great victory. . .
As he must.
As though He were carrying in that cross. . .
As you have.
As you know, I am a gambling man.
As you make us do now.
At Jerusalem, they'll race the world's finest teams. . .
Attack speed!
Attack speed.
Attention!
Attention!
Austere. Virtuous.
Back in line, you dog!
Balthasar is a good man. . .
Balthasar's word.
Battle speed!
Be ready to raise oars.
Beautiful horses.
Before the cruelty of Rome spread in his blood.
Before you came to this city, my horses always won.
Believe me, it is a great advantage to have many wives.
Besides, you must understand this, Messala.
Better a fool than a traitor or a killer.
Better for us both if it's the enemy.
Better than you.
Blessed are the peacemakers. . .
Blessed art Thou, O Lord, our God, King of the world. . .
Bravely spoken.
Bring Tirzah and we can go together to find Him.
But all life is a miracle.
But He lives. . .
But he was innocent.
But how do you control this? How do you fight an idea?
But I know. . .
But I pledge, my lord, it will be a quiet one.
But I see you again.
But I've heard of a young rabbi who says that forgiveness is greater. . .
But in it there is one sanity:
But it seems the wilderness needs my particular talents.
But no matter what this man has done, you have no right to kill him.
But not forever.
But not my family.
But now it seems as if. . .
But one of them held steady, the one on the outside.
But still, my counsel is to wait.
But suppose that isn't possible.
But that is not the end. We will rise again.
But the voice I heard today on the hill said:
But when I go up those stairs, I become the hand of Caesar. . .
But wherever I may be. . .
But you and your family need have no concern.
By a strange choice and a stranger fortune.
By condemning without hesitation an old friend, I shall be feared.
By making this example of you, I discourage treason.
By now, He is a grown man and must be ready to begin his work.
By now, He is a grown man and must be ready to begin his work.
By Rome's will, lepers, outcasts without hope.
By what magic do you bear the name of a consul of Rome?
Cell two. Jailer on that level will know.
Centurion!
Certainly, sheik.
Chain rowers!
Children of God?
Citizens. . .
Come and listen.
Come into my tent and refresh yourself.
Come on, come on.
Come on, you! Water for the horses!
Come tomorrow. We'll talk of it.
Come with me, there's something I want to show you.

Come. Let us have dinner.
Consider my offer carefully. You will never escape while we are victorious.
Consul, allow us to continue.
Consul, barge on ramming course.
Consul, enemy sighted.
Converging ways of many of them led to their capital city, Jerusalem...
David, son of Mathias.
Dead. And the race over.
Dear son.
Death generates death. . .
Defenders of great Rome's imperium. . .
Did I not tell you? How careless of me.
Didn't I beg you?
Different days.
Do good to those who despitefully use you. "
Do not pity me, Master Judah.
Do not say that you were innocent.
Do you love this man?
Do you mean you'll give me this?
Do you say nothing to this?
Do you see your hand?
Do you still hunt jackals and lions?
Do you think I don't long for them as much as you do?
Do you understand?
Does it not delight your imagination?
Does that interest you, 41 ?
Don't be a fool! Look to Rome!
Don't come any closer.
Don't disappoint me, Messala.
Don't forget that.
Down oars!
Down oars!
Drive cows and goats! That's all you're fit for!
Drive goats, not horses!
Drusus.
Drusus. . .
E section. . .
Ease that strap.
Easy, girl, easy.
Either you help me or you oppose me. You have no other choice.
Especially a new idea.
Esther?
Esther.
Esther. . .
Even for Arrius' sake, I cannot protect you. . .
Even love?
Even then.
Even then.
Even while they obeyed the will of Caesar...
Ever since then, we have been living here, in hiding.
Except for the fountain.
Except once.
Extend oars!
Face rear!
Fair exchange.
Father, something wonderful has happened.
Father.
Find the leaders.
Find them, Messala.
Fine Damascus silk.
Fire!
Fire!
Fire!
Fire.
Five galleys.
Fool! Headless toad! You know nothing of horses!
For a few hours of the night let your mind be at peace.
For it can end in only one way, extinction for your people!
For them?
For this cause, He came into the world.
For this death?
Forget what is here.
Forget?
Forgive me.
Forty one.
Forward, you dogs!
Forward!
Four to one, sheik. The difference between a Roman and a Jew.
Four to one.
Four years.
Four years. No one could live so long in the dungeons.
Freedom to you. The ring to me.
Future? You are a conquered people.
Gentlemen.
Gently! Gently!
Get along. Keep moving.
Get away from that well. No water for them!
Get away! Stay away!
Get off, idiot!
Get them away from that well! Here, you!
Get them going!
Get them on their feet!
Give us our freedom.
Go away!
Go back to what?
Go back to your oar, 41 .
Go back, Sextus.
Go on, Judah.
Go to Capri. Bathe, rest, lie by the sea. . .
Go to the citadel, Drusus. Find out.
Go, my children. Go.
Go!
Goats and Jehovah.
God be with you.
God forgive me for seeking vengeance, but my path is set.
God has answered it.
God, no!
God. . .
Gone?
Good night. Good night, my treasure.
Good.
Good.
Goodbye, Judah.
Gratus is to be replaced.
Guard, in there!
Guard.
Had to be the ****!
Hail Arrius!
Hail King of the ****!
Hail, Caesar!
Hail, Jupiter. Give me victory.
Halt!
Happy Balthasar. Life has answered you.
Have mercy.
He cannot free them, Judah.
He gave me water. . .
He has come home. He is here.
He has no more power than the images I pray to.
He has taken the world of our sins onto Himself.
He is a merchant, well thought of in Antioch.
He is going to Jerusalem. We can find Him there.
He is here.
He is here. I have found Him. The child has become a man.
He is more than Balthasar's word.
He is near.
He is power, real power on earth, not
He is searching for you now.
He is well, Miriam.
He neglects his work, Joseph.
He said, "Blessed are the merciful. . .
He saw the sun set this evening, as we did.
He saw you, Judah.
He should run on the inside where he can steady the others in the turns.
He stops at nothing to win.
He teaches that God is near, in every man.
He wanted to use me to betray our people.
He wants to survive.
He will be punished inevitably.
He will come!
He will come.
He will come. He will
He will know where they are.
He will pay for Esther's freedom.
He wishes Judea made into a more obedient and disciplined province.
He would be about your age.
He'll free them.
He's coming in a few days with more legions.
He's not changed.
He's ordered me to restore order. I shall carry out his wishes.
He's particularly fond of Judea.
He's walking in the hills.
He's working.
Help for the blind.
Help me, Judah.
Her freedom will be my wedding gift to Esther.
Here he is.
Here is a part of my life which you have made for me.
Here it is, the place I've remembered.
Here, within these walls.
Here.
His attack upon our governor is one upon the senate and the people of Rome.
His life is over.
His voiced traveled with such a still purpose.
Hold withdrawal on command.
Hold!
How can this be?
How could you have suffered them to come here? I must see them.
How?
How? You can break a man's skull, arrest him, throw him into a dungeon.
Hurry up with that resin. Get some more ammunition.
Hurry, quick!
I am afraid.
I am already part of this tragedy.
I am coming closer. Don't be afraid.
I am content.
I am convinced that no such attack was intended.
I am doomed. You saw what happened here?
I am in command.
I am in pain.
I am in pain.
I am Judah Ben Hur.
I am not a bride.
I am not the governor. I can do nothing without approval.
I am racing my whites against the noble tribune's undefeated blacks.
I am the guest of Sheik llderim.
I am thirsty still.
I asked for Alexandria.
I asked to be sent here.
I assume he has a name.
I believe in the future of my people.
I believe in the past and future of my people.
I believe it.
I brought you here to this. . .
I can get better odds on any street market.
I can hardly draw breath. . .
I can hear how you said it. Gently, as you say it now.
I can see that it does.
I can't tell.
I can't wait to see them.
I cannot bear that you should have never known. . .
I cannot believe that God has let me live these years. . .
I chose the right present for you. It's a brooch for a woman.
I couldn't see his face.
I couldn't tell you.
I cross this floor in spoken friendship. . .
I crown their god.
I dare not bring her. My people couldn't bear her absence.
I didn't know why then.
I didn't try to kill the governor. I'm not a murderer!
I disturbed you.
I don't believe in miracles.
I don't know.
I don't receive him with half a body.
I don't want to die!
I feel it too.
I have a message for you from the consul, your father.
I have business with Rome.
I have heard this. There was great blame there, very deeply regretted.
I have just come from the Valley of Stone. . .
I have lived too long.
I have no wives.
I have seen him only once.
I have six, no, seven.
I have the love and pride in a son's achievements. . .
I have waited all night. What has happened?
I hear that the climate is difficult to live in.
I honor him too well to wear it any longer.
I hope I bring you a good conclusion to your victory.
I hope so.
I hope to see you again.
I hope yours will not be too difficult.
I know him as one who stands in the place of the son I lost.
I know him.
I know it is not possible.
I know there is a law in life.
I know this man.
I know you're not.
I know.
I know. There was one predicted when I was a boy.
I leaned on the tile, and it broke loose.
I lived here until I was 1 4. Jerusalem was my home.
I make a journey which will not wait.
I mean it. It can happen and this is the moment.
I might.
I must deal with Messala in my own way.
I must find him and tell him.
I must.
I must.
I never thought you would.
I only know that I race against Messala.
I own some of the best gladiators and charioteers in Rome.
I pray to God they're alive and that Messala will free them.
I promise.
I put my hand on the ledge. A tile was loose. It gave way.
I remember you.
I said I should wear it till I met a woman I would marry.
I said I'd come back.
I saw them.
I see no delegation from the city.
I see no enemy.
I see that your one thought is to save your mother and sister.
I see this terrible thing in your eyes.
I shall remember it.
I should have done better if I had poured it into the sand.
I swear, this is the time.
I tell you every man of Judea is unclean and will stay unclean. . .
I think he has the look of the breed. I've raised him.
I thought they'd never love another as they love me.
I thought. . .
I told you, Drusus. I told you.
I touched your face as you lay there. . .
I wanted your help.
I was afraid that if you saw Messala. . . .
I was afraid you would never come back. . .
I was here last evening waiting for you.
I was ordered to report to you during my relief.
I was saying goodbye. . .
I was saying:
I went on living.
I will back my own poor horses.
I will come back tomorrow.
I will learn to love him.
I will not be here forever.
I will pray that you live till I return.
I will send for you. I have a message from Rome.
I will take him.
I will take them to Him.
I would do anything for you, Messala. . .
I would have that time again.
I'd forgotten the heat.
I'd forgotten.
I'll kill him! I'll kill !
I'll speak to them.
I'm a fighting man by profession, and in my leisure moments. . .
I'm boring you with soldier stories.
I'm going to be second in command to the new governor, Valerius Gratus.
I'm going to need help.
I'm here.
I'm next in authority to the governor, and you're my friend.
I'm on my way to Jerusalem.
I'm ready for sleep.
I'm searching for two women, a mother and daughter.
I'm so glad.
I'm to die in the galleys without even a trial?
I'm with you.
I've counted eight.
I've grown up. I've seen the world since I left Jerusalem.
I've had no trial.
I've heard Him again, the man from Nazareth.
I've lost you, Judah.
I've never seen anything like this before. It's beautiful!
I've seen Rome. It's no accident that one small village on the Tiber. . .
I've seen too much of what hate can do.
I've sent for him, and he will come.
I've spoken against it. I shall do so again.
If ever words were from God, they are in everything He says.
If I bring order here, I can have any post I want.
If I cannot persuade them, that does not mean I would help you murder them.
If I had a voice to sing, I would sing you the psalm of horses.
If I were not a bride. . .
If it is the governor's pleasure, the wreath of office.
If it is the Lord's will, I shall rejoice.
If it were only the heat.
If Messala once knew you were here. . . .
If not, there's a strange inconsistency in this man. . .
If one purpose fails, it is good to have another.
If only men were this good.
If that is the choice. . .
If there can be such a thing in this forsaken land.
If we are not, you will sink with this ship, chained to your oar.
If you had heard this man from Nazareth.
If you stay here, you will find yourself part of this tragedy.
If you want to rise, Sextus, do the difficult.
If you were not a bride. . .
If you wish us to keep you alive, we have to go to work now, tribune.
In every way.
In fact, I'm twice the man I was.
In four years, the tribune has won four victories in the circus.
In His eagerness to save you. . .
In His pain. . .
In that dead valley where we left them?
In the circus in Rome.
In the name of all the gods, what do the lives of a few **** mean to you?
In the name of God, tell them it's a mistake.
In the prison.
In the seventh year of the reign ofAugustus Caesar...
In the year of our Lord...
In what way?
In your heart, you must know it.
Into Your hands I commit my life. Do with me as You will.
Is he happy?
Is he never to know?
Is it changed?
Is it possible you could do this to us?
Is it possible?
Is Judah well?
Is someone there?
Is that all you know about him?
Is the sail square?
Is there a way down here?
Is there anything so sad as unrequited love?
It brought me here.
It gives him strength.
It goes on, Judah.
It goes on.
It is better not to love me.
It is my father's wish.
It is not generous.
It is not my duty to keep track of prisoners.
It is there still. . .
It is worse than stupid, futile!
It isn't over, Judah.
It may take me away.
It was a house where I was always happy.
It was an accident.
It was an accident.
It was Judah Ben Hur I loved. What has become of him?
It was more than a voice.
It wasn't just our legions.
It's a journey I can't keep you from.
It's a journey I can't keep you from.
It's a Roman sail.
It's a Roman world. If you want to live in it, you must become part of it.
It's a strange destiny that brought me to a new life. . .
It's a strange, stubborn faith you keep. . .
It's a terrible prospect. I am to be made governor.
It's actually quite profound, some of it.
It's an insane world.
It's Arabic.
It's as though they're alive in a grave.
It's as though you had become Messala.
It's become a part of my hand.
It's been almost five years. Do you suppose they're still alive?
It's dreadful wine, by the way.
It's especially fermented for the Roman army.
It's granted. I wish you the joy of many grandchildren.
It's Judah.
It's Judah.
It's magnificent.
It's Miriam.
It's not possible.
It's not possible.
It's over now.
It's still on my finger.
It's strange. I hardly felt a slave.
It's very much to our purpose.
Jailer!
Jailer!
Jailer!
Jerusalem's welcome will not be a warm one.
Joshua will not rise again to save you nor David.
Judah Ben Hur could not have done this thing. You knew him, tribune.
Judah Ben Hur is alive.
Judah Ben Hur.
Judah Ben Hur.
Judah Ben Hur.
Judah Ben Hur.
Judah Ben Hur.
Judah Ben Hur. . .
Judah has to be told.
Judah, be careful. Don't let him near you.
Judah, forget, forget, forget Messala. Go back to Rome.
Judah, I should like to laugh again.
Judah, if they would see Jesus of Nazareth they will know. . .
Judah, no.
Judah, no.
Judah, tell me, did you. . .
Judah, they are dead.
Judah, they have one blessing left.
Judah, we must believe in one another.
Judah, you have come to the end of your search.
Judah! Tirzah! What is it? What's happened?
Judah.
Judah. . .
Just think, his defeat and humiliation at the hands of a Jew!
Keep away from Messala.
Keep my words in your head! Let us see some wisdom!
Kill me, and your mother and sister will die. . .
Kill me!
Lay the dust of Judea, at least for this evening.
Leave Judea.
Leave the food and go.
Leave the food.
Lepers! Lepers!
Lepers.
Let him remember us as we were.
Let me explain something to you. Something you may not know.
Let me help you.
Let me look at you.
Let me out!
Let me see you.
Let me talk with you.
Let me tell him first.
Let me tell you what happened. It was an accident.
Let me try him sometime.
Let the servants go.
Let them be as if you had never come here. Please!
Let them go! They had nothing to do with it!
Let them go.
Let them go. Return to your ranks.
Let us honor those who race for us today.
Let us not haggle. Let us be fair.
Let us proceed.
Life has been answered.
Lift oars! Raise!
Like a rock.
Look for the yoke.
Look for them. . .
Look, he's driving a Greek chariot.
Love and peace.
Love them in the way they must need to be loved. Not to look at them.
Magnificent horses, extremely swift.
Magnificent.
Makes your head spin.
Malluch without a tongue, and I without life in my legs.
Man.
Many are killed.
Master? Why, I've given you your freedom.
May God grant me vengeance.
May I first sit down?
Messala is dead. What he did has had its way with him.
Messala will find out. I am sure of that.
Messala.
Miriam?
Miriam.
Moonhead! Give me those reins, you fool!
Most of the men agree with me.
Most? Not all?
Mother, let me see Tirzah.
Mother.
Mother. . .
Move on. You'll be counted at Bethlehem.
Much of your fortune is safe, Judah.
My dear old friend.
My death.
My father needed me.
My father sometimes brought me here. . .
My gods will not help me. Your God will not help you.
My horses need only a driver who is worthy of them. . .
My life belongs to the House of Hur.
My old friend Pontius Pilate, young Arrius.
My people are praying for a man. . .
My quarters.
My swift fellow.
My table is not finished.
My wife.
Nazareth.
Never seen finer horses, even in Rome.
Nine lives to live.
No cause.
No further.
No limits?
No nearer, please, God, no nearer.
No other animal has descended so in scale. . .
No other life is possible except to wash this land clean.
No water for him.
No wives at all?
No, he is not changed.
No, it was fate that chose us to civilize the world. And we have.
No, Judah, I am not evil.
No, Judah, please! Judah!
No, Judah.
No, Judah. Son, no.
No, no further. Please.
No, no, dear son.
No, no, no. This man is different.
No, not all.
No!
No!
No! I don't want to die!
No! No!
No! No! Not the whip!
No?
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No. He was accused of an attack on the governor of Judea.
No. You are the swiftest, but you must be steady.
Noble Romans, men of the Tiber, masters of the Earth. . .
Nor even you, Father.
Normal speed!
Not a team?
Not for Judeans.
Not grim.
Not long ago, I returned to Rome. . .
Not that.
Not to mention the best gift of all, your presence.
Not to see them?
Not yet. Not till I've seen him.
Nothing could make stronger our bond. . .
Nothing else exists for me, except my daughter.
Nothing I know of. For the blind, for the blind.
Nothing is to the purpose if, when I come back to Judea, I come too late.
Now I have come back. . .
Now it's nothing but ashes.
Now the wheel has turned.
Now we will settle the amount of our wager. I will venture. . . .
Now you've given it to me.
