The story takes place in ancient Rome. The Tribune Misala (Stephen?) Stephen Boyd returned to his hometown and met his childhood friend Ben-Hur again. Played by Charlton Heston. The Benhuus family was a prominent Jewish clan and enjoyed a relatively high status among the Jews. In order to control the Jews and make them submit to the rule of the ancient Roman Empire in peace, Misala hoped that Benhuus would help. But Ben-hur refused to betray his people, and thus the two good friends broke off relations. Subsequently, Misara found an excuse to punish the Benhur family for their rebellion. Benhur was sold as a slave on a warship, and he also lost information about his family. By chance, Ben-Hur achieved military success and was received by the emperor of ancient Rome. He returned to his hometown and began his journey of revenge![Collapse]
