00:30In London, in Tokyo, and in Hollywood, the most honoured motion picture in Academy Award history.
00:40Yes, the spectacle, the colour, the excitement, the human drama of Ben-Hur has swept the world.
00:47Ben-Hur is many things to many people.
00:51It transports you to strange, faraway places, to scenes of pageantry and revelry.
00:56Ben-Hur stuns with the impact of its violence and thundering action.
01:09Yet, it can lift your spirit to the sky.
01:12But with all its spectacle and pageantry, Ben-Hur is a story of people.
01:22Their conflicts.
01:24Their loves.
01:26The story of Judah Ben-Hur, the prince who became a slave and dared the evil might of the conqueror.
01:33I tell you, the day Rome falls, there will be a shout of freedom such as the world has never heard before.
01:41Proud Quintus Arius was a stern enemy.
01:43Why did you save me?
01:51Yet, when Ben-Hur saved his life, he became a staunch and grateful friend.
01:56There was the beautiful Esther, for whose love Ben-Hur defied an empire.
02:02There was Masala, the power man, once Ben-Hur's boyhood friend.
02:06Now, his deadliest enemy.
02:12You kill me and your mother and sister will die today.
02:15And there was the lusty Sheik Ildarin, ruler of the wild, exotic land.
02:20One wife, one god.
02:23That I can understand, but one wife that is not civilized.
02:26It is not generous.
02:27All that you have read about Ben-Hur, all that you have heard about Ben-Hur, is surpassed by the actuality.
02:36All that you have heard about Ben-Hur, all that you have heard about Ben-Hur, all that you have heard about Ben-Hur.
