Product Description After his boyhood friend Messala's fanatic loyalty to Rome makes him a powerful enemy, Judah Ben-Hur is found guilty of an attempted murder he did not commit. His family is banished and he is enslaved on a warship. Through his ferocity in a raging sea battle, he is able to escape and become a horse trainer. To exact his revenge, Ben-Hur decides to compete against Messala in the Roman chariot races. They race, locked in a battle to the death. Barely surviving, Ben-Hur forsakes the sword for Christ and finally finds redemption. Winner of a record 11 Academy Award, including Best Picture and Actor (Charlton Heston). desertcart.com Ben-Hur scooped an unprecedented 11 Academy Awards® in 1959 and, unlike some later rivals, richly deserved every single one. This is epic filmmaking on a scale that had not been seen before and is unlikely ever to be seen again. But it's not just running time or a cast of thousands that makes an epic, it's the subject matter, and here the subject--Prince Judah Ben-Hur (Charlton Heston) and his estrangement from old Roman pal Messala (Stephen Boyd)--is rich, detailed, and sensitively handled. Director William Wyler, who had been a junior assistant on MGM's original silent version back in 1925, never sacrifices the human focus of the story in favor of spectacle, and is aided immeasurably by Miklos Rozsa's majestic musical score, arguably the greatest ever written for a Hollywood picture. At four hours it's a long haul (especially given some of the portentous dialogue), but all in all, Ben-Hur is a great movie, best seen on the biggest screen possible. --Mark Walker Review: Great movie - Movie arrived quickly.

Ben-Hur: Ultimate Collector's Edition (1959) is the best film quality for the money
This review is for Ben-Hur: Ultimate Collector's Edition (1959) blu-ray. Sound quality and visuals are excellent. Disc change for part 2. Also includes special features on a third disc. This is the edition to get for your collection if you're on a budget but want the best quality for the film itself.

Spectacular Epic Movie Experience
Ben-Hur is one of my favorite movies that captures the epic spectacle of Rome, a heartfelt theme of redemption, and a chariot race without special effects that keeps keep your heart pumping. Only one modern filmaker, Ridley Scott, can begin to match the grandeur of this film.

One of those once in a lifetime movies
Heard a lot about the movie "Ben Hur", but I have never seen it. Finally did, and words can't express properly the experience. The great chariot race, but as good as that was it pales in comparison to the growth and experiences of Ben Hur, the travels and adventures. Especially the ending. This is one of those must see movies. Heston earned that Academy award and then some. Might go ahead and buy the 4k

Ben Hur in 1925
This was one of the great spectaculars of its time. It is long; 2 hours and 20 minutes, and like all silent movies, you must pay attention every minute, but it is fun to watch. The chariot race is very well done, with overhead shots and a camara mounted on an axel. There is a bad pile up near the end of the race that may or may not have been in the script. Chariot racing is very dangerous and in those days, there was not much concern for animal welfare on movie sets. The costumes are really dreadful. Ramon Novarro, (Ben Hur) looks like a ballet dancer in skimpy tunics that barely cover the essentials. His armour is chain mail and a pointy helmet (very popular about 11 centuries later) The Egyptian harlot who tries to tempt Ben Hur the night before the race wears a bizarre headress not found on any Egyptian wall painting or bas relief. Francis X Bushman (Masala) has a winged helmet that makes him look like the Mecury Messenger. But for all that, one set property is right on. There are a lot of cavalry scenes and the horses always have saddles with no stirrups. Novarro is obliged to vault onto his horse in dashing array, just as it was done 2000 years ago. This is one area where most movies about the ancient world fail - the saddles usually have stirrups, which is incorrect. They did not come into regular use until the 5th century or so, although why such a common sense idea took so long is another question. If you have access to Ben Hur I as part of the recently released Ben Hur four disk set, check it out before going to the feature attraction. This movie is good enough to stand on its own and shouldn't be considered a practice run for the 1959 version. Still, it is easy to see where William Wyler got some of his material.

When I first saw Ben-Hur on VHS, I remember being wowed by the spectacle. When it was released on DVD, I was still wowed, but also disappointed with the faded colour palate which made it seem like a lesser epic in comparison to Lawrence of Arabia and Bridge on the River Kwai. Well, it is faded no more! This blu-ray presentation is in a word spectacular. The colours are full and vivid and detail is ever-present. This movie looks so good on blu-ray my entire opinion of the film itself has been raised. I've seen some pretty great video quality from blu-ray restorations of classic films, but Ben-Hur may just be the best of them all.
