Synopsis

Set in the Holy Land under Roman occupation, the period is marked by widespread oppression, anxiety, and heavy taxation imposed on the Jewish population. Roman governor Pontius Pilate looms as a figure of fear, and Jewish high priest Caiaphas seeks to maintain order among his people. This stability is disrupted by the arrival of Jesus in Jerusalem, where he performs miracles and preaches messages of love and hope. Concerned that Jesus may incite a revolution, those in power determine that his life must be taken.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 24

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.

Box Office

2014 · Box office

✅ Made its money back — grossed 3.2× its budget

Why 2.5×?

Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
