The Academy Award-winning epic BEN HUR is brought to life once more in this full-length animated feature film version. This action packed adventure sees screen legend Charlton Heston reprise his Oscar-winning role by providing the narration and voice of Judah Ben-Hur, a Judean prince who boldly escapes slavery to embark on a heroic adventure of discovery.
This all-new family film was executive produced by Fraser Heston, Charlton Heston's movie director son. As directed by William R Kowalchuk the 3-D CGI animation magnificently renders the sweeping landscapes of ancient Jerusalem and the memorable characters are colourfully brought to life. Featuring elements of the story never before filmed, BEN HUR is set to follow the success of recent animated movies as The Prince of Egypt and Joseph King Of Dreams.
