Reckless Roads

Although Edith Adams and her mother are seven weeks late with their rent, Mrs. Adams, living in the more prosperous past, is more concerned with her daughter's inability to meet a man of refinement. Edith's brother Wade wastes his days gambling. Edith is courted by newspaper reporter, Speed Demming, but they cannot afford to marry, because the Adamses depend on Edith's earnings. Speed gets Wade a job, but he is promptly fired and later, he drunkenly crashes a stolen automobile. Fortunately for Wade, the car belongs to Amos Truslow, a former suitor of Mrs. Adams, and the charges against him are dropped. Amos, however, demands that Wade pay for the damages and he finds jobs for both Wade and Edith. Amos' nephew, Fred Truslow, falls in love with Edith and she ends her engagement to Speed, but when Fred gets too drunk to drive her home one night, she turns to Speed for help. Tired of paying for Fred's escapades, Amos stops his allowance, and Fred in turn demands that Wade repay a loan. To help Wade, Speed sells his car, but Mrs. Adams accidentally spends the money. Speed then borrows money from the office cleaning women. Wade bets the money on Fred's horse "Berrywine," and is able to pay all his debts with the winnings. Finally cured of gambling, Wade devotes himself to his job, and Edith and Speed look forward to their marriage.

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.
