Christus

Cines superfeature of the life of Christ opens with the taking of the imperial census throughout Caesar's dominions. Joseph, the carpenter, goes with Mary from Galilee to Bethlehem to be enrolled. At Bethlehem, in a humble hut, the Christ-child comes to earth. The star of Bethlehem is interpreted in Persia by the Magi, who set out with their caravans to pay homage. Going first to Jerusalem, they tell King Herod of the star. Herod, to insure death of the promised "King of Judea," orders the slaughter of every male infant in Bethlehem. The measure takes place, but Joseph and Mary flee into Egypt with the child. They return after Herod's death, and the boy Jesus talks with the elders in the temple. Grown to manhood, Jesus prepares Himself for His mission by meditating in Egypt amidst the silences of the pyramids and ancient temples. Returning to Palestine, He heals the sick, is baptized by John, and tempted by the devil. Mary Magdalen seeks Him and anoints His feet. He forgives the woman taken in adultery, walks on the water, casts out demons, and raises Lazarus. Judas plots the betrayal, and Jesus eats the last supper with His disciples. Judas receives the thirty pieces of silver, and has a vision in which the devil clutches at him, and the money changes to blood in his hands. Jesus drinks the bitter cup in the garden of Gethsemane, is betrayed by Judas, and arrested. Pontius Pilate offers to free either Jesus or Barabbas, the robber. The mob accepts Barabbas, and bears him away in triumph. Jesus carries His cross to Calvary, followed by the Mother and Mary Magdalen, who weep at the foot of the cross. Judas hangs himself, while the devil rejoices beneath his lonely gibbet. Joseph of Arimathea has Jesus laid in his rock-hewn tomb. Then follow the Resurrection and Ascension.

The Passion of the Christ

2 hr 7 mins
A depiction of the last twelve hours in the life of Jesus of Nazareth, on the day of his crucifixion in Jerusalem. The story opens in the Garden of Olives where Jesus has gone to pray after the Last Supper. Betrayed by Judas Iscariot, the controversial Jesus - who has performed 'miracles' and has publicly announced that he is 'the Son of God' - is arrested and taken back within the city walls of Jerusalem. There, the leaders of the Pharisees confront him with accusations of blasphemy; subsequently, his trial results with the leaders condemning him to his death. Jesus is brought before Pontius Pilate, the prefect of the Roman province of Judaea, for his sentencing. Pilate listens to the accusations leveled at Jesus by the Pharisees. Realizing that his own decision will cause him to become embroiled in a political conflict, Pilate defers to King Herod in deciding the matter of how to persecute Jesus. However, Herod returns Jesus to Pilate who, in turn, gives the crowd a choice between which prisoner they would rather to see set free - Jesus, or Barabbas. The crowd chooses to have Barabbas set free. Thus, Jesus is handed over to the Roman soldiers and is brutally flagellated. Bloody and unrecognizable, he is brought back before Pilate who, once again, presents him to the thirsty crowd - assuming they will see that Jesus has been punished enough. The crowd, however, is not satisfied. Thus, Pilate washes his hands of the entire dilemma, ordering his men to do as the crowd wishes. Whipped and weakened, Jesus is presented with the cross and is ordered to carry it through the streets of Jerusalem, all the way up to Golgotha. There, more corporal cruelty takes place as Jesus is nailed to the cross-suffering, he hangs there, left to die. Initially, in his dazed suffering, Jesus is alarmed that he has been abandoned by God his father. He then beseeches God. At the moment of his death, nature itself over-turns.
