Samson und Delilah (1949)
Der mit übermenschlichen Kräften ausgestattete Samson gilt bei seinem Volk der Daniter als Auserwählter Gottes, der sie von der Unterjochung durch die Philister befreien soll. Als er jedoch die Schwester der schönen Philisterin Delolah zur Frau nehmen will, wird der Held das Opfer von Intrigen und Verrat. Die verschmähte Delilah kommt hinter das Geheimnis seiner Kraft und liefert ihn an seine Feinde aus. Samson wird gefoltert, erniedrigt und seines Augenlichts beraubt. Doch er ist nicht bereit, sich vor dem Standbild des Philistergötzen zu verbeugen. Stattdessen kehren seine Kräfte zurück und das Schicksal und sein Glaube machen ihn zum vernichtenden Vollstrecker von Gottes Zorn über die Philister.
