König der Könige (1927)
Als die Römer unter General Pompeius im Jahr 63 v. Chr. Judäa erobertern, begann für das jüdische Volk eine Ära des Leids und der Angst. Unter der Verfolgung der Römer und unter König Herodes wuchs die Hoffnung auf die Ankunft des Messias. Unter der Regierung von König Augustus schließlich wird in Bethlehem Jesus als Kind von Maria und Josef geboren und von vielen als zukünftiger König der Juden erkannt. Später, als der erwachsene Jesus in der Öffentlichkeit auftritt, zeigen sich aber auch jene, die auf seine Botschaft anders reagieren und ihn für ihre eigenen Zwecke nutzen wollen.
