The Sykariki (1971)
In the days of the Second Temple, when the Roman Empire ruled the ancient Land of Israel, a Hebrew prisoner manages to escape his captors. The man belongs to violent fundamentalist sect known as the Sykariki – a fringe group that sought to end Roman occupation of the land and usher in independent Jewish rule. The escaped Sykarik teams up with his mates and finds shelter with a Jewish family – in a tent which the other Sykarikis then force their way into and settle in.
