The Ten Commandments Movie (1956)
The Egyptian Prince, Moses, learns of his true heritage as a Hebrew and his divine mission as the deliverer of his people.
To escape the edict of Egypt's Pharaoh, Rameses I, condemning all newborn Hebrew males, the infant Moses is set adrift on the Nile in a reed basket. Saved by the pharaoh's daughter Bithiah, he is adopted by her and brought up in the court of her brother, Pharaoh Seti. Moses gains Seti's favor and the love of the throne princess Nefertiri, as well as the hatred of Seti's son, Rameses. When his Hebrew heritage is revealed, Moses is cast out of Egypt, and makes his way across the desert where he marries, has a son and is commanded by God to return to Egypt to free the Hebrews from slavery. In Egypt, Moses' fiercest enemy proves to be not Rameses, but someone near to him who can 'harden his heart'.

i love this movie, i watch it every easter just to see the parting of the red sea, best part of the movie.
This is the best movie of all time well i think it is. I watch this movie on easter and it is wicked awesome and also tell the story about the ten commandments and also shows how people lived back then as well. The great part of this movie is where this guy lifts up the sea by his power of his hands or something and the slaves and people walk across the ocean to the other side. That part is awesome. Its a very long movie i think its like 4 or maybe 5 hours long but it is a really great movie to watch and educational as well.
