If you loved Samson, try Ben-Hur
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Theysit in Action / Adventure / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Samson, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Ben-Hur is
Jerusalem, scorching desert sun, the sound of cracking whips. A chariot lies broken, a friendship shattered, a man enslaved. Bekmambetov brings a fresh intensity to the classic tale.
