Ben-Hur: Charlton Heston plays Judah Ben-Hur, a proud Jew who runs afoul of boyhood friend Messala (Stephen Boyd) in this classic that boasts an unforgettable chariot
race scene and earned 11 Oscars, including Best Picture, Best Actor (Heston) and Best Director (William Wyler). Condemned to life as a slave, Judah swears vengeance,
escapes, then crosses paths with a gentle prophet named Jesus.
