    This is a great movie that not many people know about. Why this doesn't replace Charlton Heston at Passover, is a wonder. I am a corporate executive and this movie is such a motivator for me regarding the process of leading people. I have given away numerous copies to friends. Because the movie did not receive an Oscar nomination - a dubious measure of quality anyway - I am sure Sir Ben Kingsley did not recieve the accolades he should have for this fine acting job. He makes the movie come to life, giving Moses a human quality that no one has ever acheived. Thank you Ben Kingsley and Turner.

    This movie is a part of the Bible Collection that aired on TV. This movie goes over Moses life from his birth to when the Hebrews were to enter into the promised land. The movie isn't on par with the classic Ten Commandments, but it is on par with the othe movies, with a few exceptions, in the Bible Collection. The acting is very well done in this movie and the pace of the film is one that takes you into the story and keeps you there without bogging down in details you don't need and you won't be bored with it. I felt it kept close to Scripture fairly well and I recommend this one to anyone. It's also family friendly.

    Not a bad rendition of an old biblical story. The graphics leave something to be desired.
