During the Roman occupation of Jerusalem, Judah Ben-Hur, a jewish noble, comes to quarrel with Rome's regional government and childhood friend turned Roman official Messala after an accident injures a prominent politician. Consequently, Judah is beaten and sent to work on a slave galley. However, he is eventually freed and assimilated into Roman culture. Longing for revenge, Judah leaves Rome and embarks on an adventure that culminates in his conversion to Christianity.
