The story is probably well-known, mostly because of the 1959 version, but, in my opinion, this film packs more of an emotional punch and is truer to the book. It is the most expensive silent film ever made and it shows. The sheer epic scale of crowd-filled scenes in the city and of the famous chariot race are impressive, even by today's standard.
