CriticsCritics: 79

A Hebrew infant spared from death grows up in Egypt’s royal household as a prince. After learning the truth about his origins, he must leave behind his privileged life and embrace a destiny connected to the freedom and future of his people.

My take

You’ll enjoy this if you appreciate sweeping biblical epics, larger-than-life performances, and classic spectacle; Not for you if you prefer subtle character drama, modern effects, or shorter films.
