THE TEN COMMANDMENTS (2007)
SYNOPSIS
Condemned to die by Pharaoh while just a baby,
Hebrew Moses is set adrift on the River Nile by his
mother and his sister. Rescued by the daughter of
Pharaoh, he grows up thinking he's an Egyptian
prince.
Eventually exiled from Egypt when he is exposed
as a Jew, he is touched by God, and told that he will
lead his enslaved Chosen People to the Promised
Land. With the hand of God firmly on his shoulder,
and with faith as his only weapon, Moses performs
miracles, casts down plagues, evades a pursuing
Egyptian army, parts the Red Sea and, after forty
years of leading the Hebrew Chosen Ones to the
Promised Land, is embraced by God and led to a
better place.
What makes this version of The Ten
Commandments unique is that it highlights Moses'
family, both real and extended, on this long journey.
Filled with high adventure, the miraculous, and a
gentle sense of humor, "The Ten Commandments"
showcases Moses, the reluctant prophet, who was
the only man in Biblical history to see the face of
God and call him 'friend.'
