The movie is about a guy Ben Hur at the time of Christ. The story revolves around Ben Hur who is a rich guy but falls in some problems due to his childhood friend. The direction and screenplay is outstanding. It is in the list of some of my favorite movies. The movie won 11 academy awards for Best Motion Picture, Best Director for William Wyler, Best Leading Actor for Charlton Heston, Best Supporting Actor for Hugh Griffith, Best Set Decoration, Color for Edward C. Carfagno, William A. Horning, and Hugh Hunt, Best Cinematography, Color, Best Costume Design, Color, Best Special Effects, Best Film Editing for John D. Dunning and Ralph E. Winters, Best Music, Scoring of a Dramatic or Comedy Picture; and for Best Sound. It is the only movie with Titanic and Lord of the rings to receive 11 academy awards. What a great movie, a must watch.
