Additional InformationWhen thief and murderer Barabbas (Anthony Quinn) is freed by the people of Judea rather than Jesus of Nazareth, the criminal struggles to understand why he was chosen to live. Rachel (Silvanno Mangano), the woman he loves, becomes a follower of Jesus, whom she believes has risen from the tomb. Barabbas, however, is unconvinced. Caught preaching, Rachel is stoned to death. Barabbas is sentenced to life working in the sulphur mines. Years later, when Barabbas is chained to Sarak (Vittorio Gassman), a Christian, the mines collapse. Barabbas and Sahak escape, and are taken to Rome and trained to fight. In the Coliseum, Barabbas eventually faces the villainous Torvald (Jack Palance). Academy Award-winning director Richard Fleischer's fictional look at one of the New Testament's most stirring passages showcases strong performances all around.

  • A Thinking and Doubting Man's Epic.

    Wonderful but underrated movie. Screenplay was by English playwright Christopher Fry, who had previously cleaned up and made poetic the Tunberg/Vidal 'Ben-Hur' script of 1959. Barabbas has exquisite Italian art design, fine direction (Richard Fleischer), great actors, beautiful cinematography and a storyline that has depth: the cycle of light/dark, up/down pendulum that is human life. Barabbas is 'everyman', torn between doubt and faith, it's a deep movie.

    This is another great story! Gently paced, dated, yes, but grand acting. Also, you can have Anthony Quinn speak German if you wish....
