One biblical figure is revered by Jews, Christians, and Muslims alike. His name is Moses (Dougray Scott, Arabian Nights), the man who rose in ower to defend a eo le, to free them, and to live in history like no other…A time of danger a roaches for all of the Kingdom. Danger from a child. A child who will become a Prince of Egy t. With the soothsayer’s dire ro hecy, the Pharoah (Paul Rhys, From Hell) orders the slaughter of all newborn males. But one child, born of Hebrew slave Amram (Louis Hilyer, Sky Ca tain and the World of Tomorrow) and his wife Jochebed (Emmy nominee Lisa Jacobs, The Attic), is ut in the care of others to ensure his own safety. As years ass, Moses is raised in a royal Egy tian household and, with no memory of his true family, rises to the stature of rince. U on discovery of his heritage, and ins ired by a fiery message from God, Moses im lores his ste brother Menerith (Naveen Andrews, Lost), a high-ranking official in Ramses’ army, to join him on a fight to reclaim his destiny as the leader and liberator of the Hebrew eo le.But when Ramses rejects his demands, Moses issues the curse of a coming lague. From a swarming cloud of locusts to a river transformed in to a rushing stream of human blood to a down our of frogs from the heavens, the ro hesized scourge has been unleashed—Moses has taken the first ste toward accom lishing his mission. Charting the dramatic story of the Hebrew leader—from his narrow esca e from death to his leadershi of the Hebrew eo le to the arting of the Red Sea, The Ten Commandments unfolds with all the s ectacle, the violent human drama, and grand ins iration that has earned its stature as the greatest story ever told.With a stellar cast that includes Mia Maestro (Alias) and Golden Globe winner Omar Sharif (Lawrence of Arabia), The Ten Commandments is unsur assed in its vision—both intimate and grand.
