From Pharaoh to Freedom: Moses at the Movies

An unlikely hero saved from genocide as a baby. A man caught between two identities—Hebrew and Egyptian. A prophet who confronts empire, witnesses miracles, leads a people through the wilderness, and wrestles with personal failure.

No wonder the story of Moses has captivated filmmakers for decades. From Charlton Heston to Val Kilmer, Ben Kingsley to Christian Bale, actors have brought Moses to life in films like “The Ten Commandments,” “The Prince of Egypt,” and “Exodus: Gods and Kings.”

But how—and why—is the story of Moses told differently on the big screen? Join us for this engaging journey through the movies of Moses, and discover why these films matter not just to Hollywood, but to our faith.
