Jesus Christ Superstar backdrop

Jesus Christ Superstar 1973 Directed by Norman Jewison

And now the film…

As played out by a theatre troupe, the last days of Jesus Christ are depicted from the perspective of Judas Iscariot, his betrayer. As Jesus' following increases, Judas begins to worry that Jesus is falling for his own hype, forgetting the principles of his teachings and growing too close to the prostitute Mary Magdalene.
