Richard Burton and Jean Simmons star in this legendary Academy Award winner. The first movie ever filmed in CinemaScope, it's the inspiring story of the miraculous robe Jesus wore on the cross, brought to life in a sweeping spectacle that ranks among the greatest Hollywood productions of all time. Marcellus Gallio (Burton) is the Roman centurion in charge of the crucifixion who wins the robe gambling at the foot of the cross--and whose life is forever changed. Diana (Simmons) is the woman he loves, but whose beliefs have come between them. And Victor Mature is Gallio's slave Demetrius, a man who flees to serve a higher master. An unforgettable and moving account of Christ's conflict with the Roman Empire and one of the screen's greatest biblical epics.
