THEME
Summary
A life that stretches from the waters of the Nile to the marble halls of the palace begins with a magnificent illusion. Directed by Cecil B. DeMille, this monumental production brings to the screen the fate of a people enslaved under the ancient Egyptian sun and the inner awakening of a prince.
Confronted with his Hebrew roots, Moses breaks free from the palace’s powerful shadow and sets out on the dusty paths of the desert. Embracing all the grandeur of the historical drama genre, the film conveys to the audience the most ancient embodiment of faith and the struggle for freedom.
