The Squaw Man

Henry, Earl of Kerhill has inherited his family's title and wealth while his cousin James Wingate is forced to survive as a relatively low-ranking military officer. Wingate is in love with Henry's wife Lady Diana Kerhill, but his love is unfulfilled despite a mutual affection between them. When Henry embezzles the regiment's charitable fund, Wingate takes the blame in order to protect his family's name and to avoid implicating Lady Diana in the scandal. Wingate migrates to the United States and takes over the ownership of a a ranch in Montana. Wingate starts a feud with the local bootlegger Cash Hawkins over a land dispute, and he also has to face a corrupt sheriff working for Hawkins. The Native American woman Naturich (who is in love with Wingate) saves Wingate's life twice and personally kills Hawkins. Wingate marries Naturich and has a son with her. A few years later, Henry is mortally wounded in a hunting accident. He clears Wingate's name with a deathbed confession of his old crime. Lady Diana and her friend Sir John Applegate track down Wingate to Montana and inform him that he can safely return to the United Kingdom. Wingate decides to send his son to England, where he can attend the finest schools and eventually inherit the earldom. Naturich is miserable that her son is taken from her against her wishes, and shortly after learns that the sheriff finally has enough evidence to arrest her for Hawkins' murder. She commits suicide while holding a hand-crafted wooden horse which she had created for her beloved son. The story ends with Wingate holding his wife's body in her final moments.

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.
