16mm feature film ben hur. . A remake of the 1925 silent film with a similar title, it was adapted from Lew Wallace's 1880 novel Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ. A Jewish prince is betrayed and sent into slavery by a Roman friend in 1st-century Jerusalem, but it's not long before he regains his freedom and comes back for revenge. William Wyler’s 1959 feature has never looked better It’s been well over a decade since a Hi-Def restoration of Ben-Hur was first rumored to be in the pipeline, and now here it is. The winner of 11 Academy Awards in 1960, and perhaps the benchmark for Hollywood epics, has gotten a 4K restoration and release that gives this Golden age feature a new lease of life. But I just want to say, if you have not seen the silent version ( 1927?) of this film, you are missing the best chariot race of all the Ben Hur movies. Ben-Hur is a 1959 American religious epic film directed by William Wyler, produced by Sam Zimbalist, and starring Charlton Heston as the title character. This is the CINEMASCOPE release version of this film. In addition to being a huge commercial success, it set a record for most Academy Award wins (11).
