The Ten Commandments
“The greatest event in motion picture history!”
Director
Cecil B. DeMille
Screenplay
Fredric M. Frank, Jesse Lasky Jr.
Cecil B. DeMille's Technicolor epic follows Moses from his adoption into Egyptian royalty through his discovery of his Hebrew heritage and his mission to lead his people out of bondage, culminating in the parting of the Red Sea. Charlton Heston's commanding, stone-tablet gravitas defined the biblical-epic genre for a generation, supported by a cast including Yul Brynner as a formidable Rameses. A television Easter tradition for decades and a landmark of practical special effects, it remains the gold standard of Hollywood's mid-century sword-and-sandal spectacle.
