He gives Moses a handy head injury to initiate a conversion experience. However, Scott strays from the scriptures, making some huge deviations for artistic effect, which leaves the movie somewhat lacking. There are some absolutely breath-taking shots and the set pieces, especially the plagues, are done with relish. Unsurprisingly, as this is a Ridley Scott film, this is a visual feast. Returning to Egypt years later, Moses tries to convince the Pharaoh to free the Hebrew people, but Ramses' refusal and cruel response unleashes the wrath of God upon the land. Eventually, Moses finds himself banished after the conniving Hegep informs Ramses, now Pharaoh, of his true lineage. Despite fighting shoulder-to-shoulder with Ramses, the pair find themselves at odds after a battlefield prophecy comes to pass. Raised as a brother to Pharaoh-in-waiting Ramses, Moses has no idea he is himself Hebrew, a people enslaved by the Egyptians. Gladiator director Ridley Scott brings us the latest in a series of biblically inspired films, with Christian Bale starring as Moses.
