Ben-Hur USA.The Jewish people petition Pilate to veto the plan. Pilate sends his soldiers in disguise to mingle with the crowd, who at an appointed time, begin to massacre the protesters.
Judah kills a Roman guard in a duel, and becomes a hero in the eyes of a group of Galilean protesters.
At a meeting in Bethany , Ben-Hur and his Galilean followers organize a resistance force to revolt against Rome.
Gaining help from Simonides and Ilderim, he sets up a training base in Ilderim's territory in the desert. After some time, Malluch writes announcing the appearance of a prophet believed to be a herald for the Christ.
Judah journeys to the Jordan to see the prophet, meeting Balthasar and Iras traveling for the same purpose. They reach Bethabara, where a group has gathered to hear John the Baptist preach.
A man walks up to John, and asks to be baptized. Judah recognizes Him as the man who gave him water at the well in Nazareth many years before.
Balthasar worships Him as the Christ. Biblical references: Matthew —51, Mark —11, —52, Luke —46, John —18, — During the next three years, that Man, Jesus, preaches his gospel around Galilee, and Ben-Hur becomes one of his followers.
He notices that Jesus chooses fishermen, farmers, and similar people, considered "lowly", as apostles. Judah has seen Jesus perform miracles, and is now convinced that the Christ really had come.
During this time, Malluch has bought the old Hur house and renovated it. He invites Simonides and Balthasar, with their daughters, to live in the house with him.
Judah Ben-Hur seldom visits, but the day before Jesus plans to enter Jerusalem and proclaim himself, Judah returns. He tells all who are in the house of what he has learned while following Jesus.
Amrah realizes that Judah's mother and sister could be healed, and brings them from a cave where they are living. The next day, the three await Jesus by the side of a road and seek his healing.
Amid the celebration of his Triumphal Entry , Jesus heals the women. When they are cured, they reunite with Judah.
Several days later, Iras talks with Judah, saying he has trusted in a false hope, for Jesus had not started the expected revolution.
She says that it is all over between them, saying she loves Messala. Ben-Hur remembers the "invitation of Iras" that led to the incident with Thord, and accuses Iras of betraying him.
That night, he resolves to go to Esther. While lost in thought, he notices a parade in the street and falls in with it. He notices that Judas Iscariot , one of Jesus' disciples, is leading the parade, and many of the temple priests and Roman soldiers are marching together.
They go to the olive grove of Gethsemane , and he sees Jesus walking out to meet the crowd. Understanding the betrayal, Ben-Hur is spotted by a priest who tries to take him into custody; he breaks away and flees.
Although originally acquitted, Jesus has been sentenced to crucifixion at the crowd's demand. Ben-Hur is shocked at how his supporters have deserted Christ in his time of need.
They head to Calvary , and Ben-Hur resigns himself to watch the crucifixion of Jesus. The sky darkens.
Ben-Hur offers Jesus wine vinegar to return Jesus' favor to him, and soon after that Jesus utters his last cry. Judah and his friends commit their lives to Jesus, realizing He was not an earthly king, but a heavenly King and a Savior of mankind.
Five years after the crucifixion, Ben-Hur and Esther have married and had children. The family lives in Misenum.
Iras visits Esther and tells her she has killed Messala, discovering that the Romans were brutes. She also implies that she will attempt suicide.
After Esther tells Ben-Hur of the visit, he tries unsuccessfully to find Iras. A Samaritan uprising in Judaea is harshly suppressed by Pontius Pilate, and he is ordered back to Rome a decade after authorizing the crucifixion of Jesus.
In the 10th year of Emperor Nero 's reign, Ben-Hur is staying with Simonides, whose business has been extremely successful. With Ben-Hur, the two men have given most of the fortunes to the church of Antioch.
Now, as an old man, Simonides has sold all his ships but one, and that one has returned for probably its final voyage. Learning that the Christians in Rome are suffering at the hands of Emperor Nero, Ben-Hur and his friends decide to help.
Ben-Hur, Esther, and Malluch sail to Rome, where they decided to build an underground church. It will survive through the ages and comes to be known as the Catacomb of Callixtus.
Ben-Hur is the romantic story of a fictional nobleman named Judah Ben-Hur, who tries to save his family from misfortune and restore honor to the family name, while earning the love of a modest female Jew named Esther.
It is also a tale of vengeance and spiritual forgiveness that includes themes of Christian redemption and God's benevolence through the compassion of strangers.
A popular theme with readers during Gilded Age America, when the novel was first published, was the idea of achieving prosperity through piety.
In Ben-Hur , this is portrayed through Judah's rise from poverty to great wealth, the challenges he faces to his virtuous nature, and the rich rewards he receives, both materially and spiritually, for his efforts.
Wallace's adventure story is told from the perspective of Judah Ben-Hur. Ben-Hur "maintains a respect for the underlying principles of Judaism and Christianity".
The Christian world would not tolerate a novel with Jesus Christ its hero, and I knew it He should not be present as an actor in any scene of my creation.
The giving a cup of water to Ben-Hur at the well near Nazareth is the only violation of this rule I would be religiously careful that every word He uttered should be a literal quotation from one of His sainted biographers.
Wallace only used dialogue from the King James Bible for Jesus's words. He also created realistic scenes involving Jesus and the main fictional character of Judah, and included a detailed physical description of the Christ, which was not typical of 19th-century biblical fiction.
The historical novel is filled with romantic and heroic action, including meticulously detailed and realistic descriptions of its landscapes and characters.
Wallace strove for accuracy in his descriptions, including several memorable action scenes, the most famous of which was the chariot race at Antioch.
He went on to publish several more novels and biographies, including The Prince of India; or, Why Constantinople Fell , a biography of President Benjamin Harrison in , and The Wooing of Malkatoon , but Ben-Hur remained his most significant work and best-known novel.
Wallace cited one inspiration for Ben-Hur , recounting his life-changing journey and talk with Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll , a well-known agnostic and public speaker, whom he met on a train when the two were bound for Indianapolis on September 19, Ingersoll invited Wallace to join him in his railroad compartment during the trip.
The two men debated religious ideology, and Wallace left the discussion realizing how little he knew about Christianity.
He became determined to do his own research to write about the history of Christ. He developed the novel from his own exploration of the subject.
The Dumas novel was based on the memoirs of an early 19th-century French shoemaker who was unjustly imprisoned and spent the rest of his life seeking revenge.
He explained in his autobiography that, while he was writing Ben-Hur , "the Count of Monte Cristo in his dungeon of stone was not more lost to the world.
Other writers have viewed Ben-Hur within the context of Wallace's own life. Hanson compares Wallace's real-life experience in battle, battle tactics, combat leadership, and jealousies among American Civil War military commanders to those of Wallace's fictional character of Judah, whose unintentional injury to a high-ranking military commander leads to further tragedy and suffering for the Ben-Hur family.
Wallace made some controversial command decisions , and he delayed in arriving on the battlefield during the first day of the battle of Shiloh , when Grant's Union army sustained heavy casualties.
This created a furor in the North, damaged Wallace's military reputation, and drew accusations of incompetence. John Swansburg, deputy editor of Slate , suggests that the chariot race between the characters of Judah and Messala may have been based on a horse race which Wallace reportedly ran and won against Grant some time after the battle of Shiloh.
Farrand Tuttle Jr. The event may have been a Wallace family legend, but the novel which includes the action-packed chariot race made Wallace a wealthy man and established his reputation as a famous author and sought-after speaker.
Wallace was determined to make the novel historically accurate and did extensive research on the Middle East that related to the time period covered in his novel.
However, he did not travel to Rome or the Holy Land until after its publication. To establish an authentic background for his story, Wallace gathered references on Roman history, as well as the geography, culture, language, customs, architecture, and daily life in the ancient world from libraries across the United States.
He also studied the Bible. Wallace intended to identify the plants, birds, names, architectural practices, and other details. He later wrote: "I examined catalogues of books and maps, and sent for everything likely to be useful.
I wrote with a chart always before my eyes—a German publication showing the towns and villages, all sacred places, the heights, the depressions, the passes, trails, and distances.
An example of Wallace's attention to detail is his description of the fictional chariot race and its setting at the arena in Antioch.
Using a literary style that addressed his audience directly, Wallace wrote:. Let the reader try to fancy it; let him first look down on the arena, and see it glistening in its frame of dull-gray granite walls; let him then, in this perfect field, see the chariots, light of wheel, very graceful, and ornate as paint and burnishing can make them It is ironic that an acclaimed biblical novel, [56] one that would rival the Bible in popularity during the Gilded Age , was inspired by a discussion with a noted agnostic and written by an author who was never a member of any church.
Wallace claimed that when he began writing Ben-Hur , he was not "in the least influenced by religious sentiment" and "had no convictions about God or Christ", [41] [56] but he was fascinated by the biblical story of the three magi's journey to find Jesus, king of the Jews.
After extensive studies of the Bible and the Holy Land, and well before he had completed the novel, Wallace became a believer in God and Christ.
In the very beginning, before distractions overtake me, I wish to say that I believe absolutely in the Christian conception of God.
As far as it goes, this confession is broad and unqualified, and it ought and would be sufficient were it not that books of mine— Ben-Hur and The Prince of India —have led many persons to speculate concerning my creed I am not a member of any church or denomination, nor have I ever been.
Not that churches are objectionable to me, but simply because my freedom is enjoyable, and I do not think myself good enough to be a communicant.
Most of the book was written during Wallace's spare time in the evening, while traveling, and at home in Crawfordsville, Indiana , where he often wrote outdoors during the summer, sitting under a favorite beech tree near his home.
The tree has since that time been called the Ben-Hur Beech. In March , Wallace copied the final manuscript of Ben-Hur in purple ink as a tribute to the Christian season of Lent.
He took a leave of absence from his post as New Mexico's territorial governor and traveled to New York City to deliver it to his publisher.
On April 20, Wallace personally presented the manuscript to Joseph Henry Harper of Harper and Brothers, who accepted it for publication.
At the time of Ben-Hur' s publication, the idea of presenting Christ and the Crucifixion in a fictional novel was a sensitive issue.
Wallace's depiction of Christ could have been considered by some as blasphemy , but the quality of his manuscript and his assurances that he had not intended to offend Christians with his writing overcame the publisher's reservations.
A bold experiment to make Christ a hero that has been often tried and always failed. When Lew Wallace's Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ first appeared in , it was bound in a cadet blue-gray cloth with floral decorations on the front cover, spine, and back cover.
It was copyrighted October 12, , and published November 12th as noted in a letter to Wallace from Harper dated November 13, The earliest autographed copy noted bears Wallace's inscription dated November 17, , in the collection of the Indiana Historical Society Library.
The first printed review appeared in The New York Times , November 14, , and noted that it is "printed and in the hands of book dealers.
According to Russo and Sullivan, Mrs. Wallace objected to the floral decorative cloth. She wrote to Harper on January 3, , in answer to a question about the true first edition: "I incline to the belief that the volume seen was one of the first issue of Ben-Hur , which would explain the gay binding.
The first edition was issued in a series which the Harpers were then publishing. It was 16mo form, bound in cadet-blue cloth, and decorated with clusters of flowers in red, blue, and green on the front cover and a vase of flowers in the same colors on the back cover.
The lettering on the cover is black. Harpers apparently retaliated at Susan Wallace's objections over the binding. In the next two binding states all first editions , the text was bound in drab, brown mesh cloth seen occasionally today as a faded gray over beveled boards [Binding State 2] and brown pebbled cloth over beveled boards [Binding State 3].
The book is dedicated "To the Wife of My Youth". This dedication appears in the first printing run of about 5, copies, all either in the first edition, first state binding, or in two alternate bindings.
Wallace died. I laughed at first, but the condolences multiplied until finally I told the good woman that having got me into the trouble she must now get me out, which she did by adding the words--'Who still abides with me.
Initial sales of Ben-Hur were slow, only 2, copies were sold in the first seven months, but within two years, the book had become popular among readers.
Hart explained that by the turn of the century, "If every American did not read the novel, almost everyone was aware of it. Within 20 years of its publication, Ben-Hur was "second only to the Bible as the best-selling book in America", and remained in second position until Margaret Mitchell 's Gone With the Wind surpassed it.
At the time of the book's th anniversary in , Ben-Hur had never been out of print and had been adapted for the stage and several motion pictures.
The novel had millions of fans, including several influential men in politics. Grant , U. Minister to the Ottoman Empire, based in Constantinople , Turkey.
Wallace served in this diplomatic post from to Ben-Hur was published at time when the United States was moving away from war and reconstruction.
Critics point to problems such as flat characters and dialogue, unlikely coincidences driving the plot, and tedious and lengthy descriptions of settings, but others note its well-structured plot and exciting story, [76] with its unusual mix of romanticism, spiritual piety, action, and adventure.
People who read much else of worth rarely read Ben-Hur ". Popular novels of Christ's life, such as Reverend J. Readers also credited Wallace's novel with making Jesus's story more believable by providing vivid descriptions of the Holy Land and inserting his own character of Judah into scenes from the gospels.
One former alcoholic, George Parrish from Kewanee, Illinois , wrote the author a letter crediting Ben-Hur with causing him to reject alcohol and find religion.
Parrish remarked: "It seemed to bring Christ home to me as nothing else could". It not only reduced lingering American resistance to the novel as a literary form, but also later adaptations were instrumental in introducing some Christian audiences to theater and film.
After the novel's publication in , Wallace was deluged with requests to dramatize it as a stage play, but he resisted, arguing that no one could accurately portray Christ on stage or recreate a realistic chariot race.
In , Wallace entered into an agreement with theatrical producers Marc Klaw and Abraham Erlanger to turn his novel into a stage adaptation.
Critics gave it mixed reviews, but the audience packed each performance, many of them first-time theater-goers. It became a hit, selling 25, tickets per week.
The stage adaptation was seen by an estimated 20 million people, [83] and William Jennings Bryan claimed it was "the greatest play on stage when measured by its religious tone and more effect.
The key spectacle of the show recreated the chariot race with live horses and real chariots running on treadmills with a rotating backdrop.
Did I set all of this in motion? When the play was produced in London in , The Era 's drama critic described how the chariot race was achieved with "four great cradles" 20 feet 6.
The horses also drove the movement of a vast cyclorama backdrop, which revolved in the opposite direction to create an illusion of rapid speed.
Electric rubber rollers spun the chariot wheels, while fans created clouds of dust. The production had imported 30 tons of stage equipment from the United States, employed a cast of more than , and featured sets with fountains, palm trees, and the sinking of a Roman galley.
It featured a live chariot race, gladiatorial combat, and a sea battle. The production used 46 horses, tons of special sand, and cast and crew.
All of the show's dialogue was in Latin and Aramaic of the period, with voiceover narration. However, despite its massive staging, a critic for The Guardian remarked that it lacked the theatrical spectacle to inspire the imagination of its audience.
The development of the cinema following the novel's publication brought film adaptations in , , , , and , as well as a North American TV miniseries in In , Sidney Olcott and Frank Oakes Ross directed a short film for the Kalem Company that was based on the book, but it did not have the Wallace heirs' or the book publisher's permissions.
The landmark case Kalem Co. Harper Brothers [ U. Supreme Court and set a legal precedent for motion picture rights in adaptations of literary and theatrical works.
Wallace's son continued to receive offers to sell the film rights to the book after his father's death. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer later obtained the film rights.
Bushman as Messala. Cohan Theater in New York City. It received positive reviews [90] and became a top-grossing silent film of the era.
In , MGM began planning for a new version of the film with William Wyler as its director, who had worked as an assistant director of the chariot race in the film.
It was shot on location in Rome. It was also among the most successful films ever made. Wallace's novel was eclipsed by the popularity of Wyler's film adaptation, a "blockbuster hit for MGM", that won a record 11 Academy awards from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and became the top-grossing film of In , the American Film Institute named Wyler's film one of the best American films of all time.
John D. Dunning Ralph E. Release date. Running time. Main article: Production of Ben-Hur film. I spent sleepless nights trying to find a way to deal with the figure of Christ.
It was a frightening thing when all the great painters of twenty centuries have painted events you have to deal with, events in the life of the best-known man who ever lived.
Everyone already has his own concept of him. I wanted to be reverent, and yet realistic. Crucifixion is a bloody, awful, horrible thing, and a man does not go through it with a benign expression on his face.
I had to deal with that. It is a very challenging thing to do that and get no complaints from anybody. Behrman , Gore Vidal and Christopher Fry worked on the script in the course of development.
See the Writing section for more details. In the wake of World War II the Italian government banned the movement of lira out of Italy as a means of stabilizing the inflation-plagued Italian economy.
Finding a way to spend this money in Italy would free up resources elsewhere for the studio. Fry did not arrive in Rome until May and Vidal says he did not leave Rome until mid or late June, so Vidal's arrival in Rome can be deduced with some accuracy.

Edit Did You Know? Trivia For some sequences in the chariot race, some of the chariots had three horses instead of four. This enabled the camera car to move in closer.
Goofs The opening narration by Balthasar refers to the taxation decree made "in the seventh year of the reign of Augustus Caesar.
This would have placed the decree in 20 BC. The film has the event coinciding with the birth of Christ as does the Gospel of Luke. The Gospel further states that "Quirinius was governor of Syria.
Quotes Messala : Just as I remember it. The courtyard where we used to play at changing the guard; the roof where we used to throw pebbles at the people in the street and then hide!
Miriam : No, you were good boys! I would have that time again. Crazy Credits The Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer lion is shown in a still-frame to appear looking peaceful at the beginning rather than roaring.
Alternate Versions One older VHS release has a fade to black in between the opening credits and the scene after that. The original version has a dissolve transition.
Anyway, the Heston version is one of my favorite movies. I saw it when I was 8 and two times when I was about I love it and quote it all the time.
But this is not a review of that version because surprise! This is a review of the version and I don't feel it is fair to give this movie a bad rating simply because it was an unnecessary remake.
In case you are wondering, this is the sixth version of Ben-Hur. They love each other but they get in the middle of an attempted assassination on a Roman leader and wind up on opposing sides.
They both feel they are in the right, get in a very sticky situation, and thus begins an 5 year journey of survival, revenge, forgiveness.
I liked the movie. The chariot race was thrilling. I was worried about it because the trailer showed a scene which an obvious CGI horse running through the stands.
To my delight that was the only part that really used a CGI horse that I could tell, anyway. The rest of the race was intense even though I already knew how it was going to end.
The movie focuses very heavily on the relationship between Massala and Judah as well as Massala and the rest of the Hur family. Massala's intentions and actions were understandable and he wasn't just some evil man who betrayed his family.
The main actors and actresses do a good not great job. I felt Morgan Freeman may have phoned it in a little, but he delivered one of my favorite lines of the movie.
My favorite actors were the slave drivers on the galley along with the drummer. They have small roles but I loved them.
I didn't care for the Jesus scenes though. He is a hard character to portray, and I just didn't like it when he spoke.
I'm probably picky, but I would have preferred to hear him speak in King James English or not at all like in the Heston version.
I just felt something was off with the scenes and they could have been more powerful. It's not perfect but a good movie overall.
