Ben-Hur [HD] (1959) in streaming su altadefinizione Nel 26 DC, Judah Ben-Hur (Charlton Heston) è un ricco principe ebreo e mercante a Gerusalemme, che vive con sua madre, Miriam (Martha Scott); sua sorella, Tirzah (Cathy O'Donnell); e la loro serva Amrah (Stella Vitelleschi). Lo schiavo fedele della famiglia, il mercante Simonides (Sam Jaffe), fa una visita con sua figlia, Esther (Haya Harareet). Giuda ed Ester si innamorano a prima vista, ma è bethrothed ad un altro. L'amico d'infanzia di Giuda, il cittadino romano Messala (Stephen Boyd), è ora un tribuno. Dopo diversi anni lontano da Gerusalemme, Messala ritorna come nuovo comandante della guarnigione romana, la Fortezza di Antonia. Messala crede nella gloria di Roma e del suo potere imperiale, mentre Giuda è devoto alla sua fede e alla libertà del popolo ebraico. Questa differenza causa tensione tra gli amici, e si traduce nella loro divisione dopo che Messala emette un ultimatum che richiede a Giuda di consegnare potenziali ribelli tra la popolazione alle autorità romane.
La colonna sonora del film è stata composta e diretta da Miklós Rózsa, che ha segnato la maggior parte delle epiche di MGM, sebbene Zimbalist avesse precedentemente commissionato e poi messo da parte una partitura di William Walton.
