The Ten Commandments is a grand, old-school epic about Moses, a former Egyptian prince turned prophet, who leads the enslaved Hebrews to freedom. Along the way, he takes on his old adoptive brother, Ramses, in a clash of wills, plagues, and miracles. With parting seas, fiery commandments, and some serious drama, Cecil B. DeMille's film unfolds a visually stunning tale of faith, freedom, and sticks to your convictions, even when the odds seem impossible.
