Additional BEN-HUR Information

The numbers speak volumes: 100,000 costumes, 8,000 extras, 300 sets and a staggering budget in its day the largest in movie history. Ben-Hur's creators made it the best, the greatest Biblical-era epic ever. Charlton Heston brings a muscular physical and moral presence to the role of Judah Ben-Hur, a Jewish nobleman in Palestine whose heroic odyssey includes enslavement by the Romans, a bold escape from an embattled slave galley, vengeance against his tormentors during a furious arena chariot race and fateful encounters with Jesus Christ. Heston's charismatic performance brought him the Best Actor Oscar; the winner as 1959's Best Picture with the legendary William Wyler earning his third Best Director trophy, the film won a total 11 Academy Awards -- a tally unequaled until 1997's Titanic set sail.

What Customers Say About BEN-HUR:

How fame and self - glory. end up in a great fall and sometimes death.insanity and betrayal working together.
Great. I received the product in few days and in good condition as described by the seller.
PLEASE. Watching a classic like Ben-Hur is always a delight. A double DVD set would have been a far, FAR better option, albeit perhaps a shade expensive. After watching it on poor quality VHS cassettes, the DVD quality was wonderful - picture and sound, both. However, a double sided DVD. So what. Still, a treat to add to my DVD collection.BR
212 minutes of classic cinema. This one is definitely in the top 10. Recently I have been watching some movies that were big in the year I was born.1959. After 50 years Ben Hur has stood as a monument to great movie making. A story of redemption, betrayal,anger and oh yes,a chariot race. Charlton Heston was first rate in this classic William Wyler movie. Bravo. :)
Ben-HurMOVIE EVENTUALLY FAILED TO BOOT ON SIDE A AT ALL. I SENT IT BACK WITH AN EXPLANATION BUT LATER DISCOVERED THAT DUMMIE ME FORGOT TO PUT THE DISK IN THE PACKAGE. PREVIOUSLY IT FROZE AT NAVAL BATTLE SCENE. SIDE TWO ALSO FROZE AFTER FIRST SCENE. I HEARD NOTHING FROM PERSON I BOUGHT IT FROM, BUT MUST ADMIT I WASN'T SURPRISED SINCE I HAD FAILED TO INCLUDE THE DISK IN THE RETURN. AT THIS POINT I GAVE UP AND BOUGHT A NEW ONE AT BEST BUY FOR $19.99
