Producer Mark Burnett and Executive Producer Roma Downey share an exclusive sneak peak with Beliefnet fans of their upcoming movie Ben-Hur, out in theaters this summer.

Ben-Hur follows a falsely accused Jewish nobleman (Ben-Hur, played by Jack Huston) after he survives years of slavery and seeks to take revenge on his Roman best friend, who betrayed him. This action-packed movie teaches viewers the power of hope and forgiveness through the power of Jesus. Christians will be inspired to share the salvation with Jesus Christ!

High-profile stars as well as newcomers including Morgan Freeman (Ilderim), Naxanin Boniadi (Ester), Rodrigo Santoro (Jesus) and Haluk Bilginer (Simonides) star in the film. Be sure to catch Ben-Hur on August 19th.
