King of Kings backdrop

King of Kings 1961 Directed by Nicholas Ray

Of good and evil, of love and hate, of peace and war.

Who is Jesus, and why does he impact all he meets? He is respected and reviled, emulated and accused, beloved, betrayed, and finally crucified. Yet that terrible fate would not be the end of the story.
