Synopsis
A multi-national cast headed by American actor Chris Sarandon dramatizes the events from the Last Supper through the arrest and trial of Jesus to the Crucifixion. Screenwriters James Lee Barrett and Edward Anhalt mixed Biblical fact with fiction, creating the part of Pontius Pilate's wife for "guest star" Hope Lange, since no written records appear to exist about her either before or after the Crucifixion, and in this film, she is primarily an observer.
