This ship is your body!

That drum is your heartbeat!

And your God is the Glory of Rome!

Brace for impact!!!

How long were you a slave?

Five years.

What is your name?

Ben-Hur.

My family was one of the most respected in Jerusalem.

Welcome home.

Please! I need you to tell me who Rome's enemies are!

Messala, I won't name names.

Until we were betrayed.

By my own brother.

Messala!

You know we've done nothing wrong!

Rome's calling for blood.

- Crucify them. - NOOOO!!!

The world you live in is Rome's.

Their laws.

Their power.

I won't let Messala go unpunished for what he's done to us.

Our mother and sister.

Was it a quick death?!

Coward!

My family, they deserve justice for what's happened to them.

There is a way.

In the arena...

there is no law.

Racing is a blood sport.

If you lose...

you die.

But your brother is the pride of Rome.

Defeat him, and you'll defeat an Empire.

Then you will have your vengeance.

You have a voice. People would follow you. I would follow you.

Go! Go! Go!

Should've stayed away.

You should've killed me.

I will.

Remember...

first to finish

last to die.

Come on!

Are we having fun now, brother?!

Stand and fight!

Stand up, now!
