Ben Hur: Songs That Celebrate The Epic Film

2016 release. Ben Hur: Songs From And Inspired By The Epic Film is a collection of songs featuring some of the biggest names in Christian music singing songs about hope and forgiveness. Featuring a brand new song from the film by Andra Day as well as songs by Jordan Smith, For King & Country, Big Daddy Weave, Sidewalk Prophets and many more, this collection makes the perfect complement to the powerful film! Bursting with action - including a new chariot race for the ages - and elevated by Christian themes of justice, liberty and radical forgiveness, it tells the classic story of Judah Ben-Hur (Jack Huston), a prince falsely accused of treason by his adopted brother Messala (Toby Kebbell), an officer in the Roman army. Stripped of his title and separated from his family and the woman he loves (Nazanin Boniadi), Judah is forced into slavery and despair. After years at sea, a breathtaking turn of events sends Judah on an epic journey back to his homeland to seek revenge, where a chance encounter with Jesus of Nazareth (Rodrigo Santoro) transforms his life and leads him to discover grace, mercy and ultimately, redemption.
