Ben Hur plot

Judah Ben Hur and Messala Octavius are best friends, who grew up together in Hur's household in Jerusalem, under Roman occupation. Then Messala is snatched from the Hur family by his estranged father, a Roman senator, who insisted on military training in Rome. Years later, Messala returns to Jerusalem, where he is put in charge of the Roman garrison. Ben Hur, now a successful entrepreneur, is engaged to Esther. But a revolt against Roman rule breaks out the day Pontius Pilate, the prefect of the province of Judea, arrives in Jerusalem. Messala, in charge of protecting Pilate, falsely accuses the Hur family of inciting the rebellion. Messala wants to set a public example by enslaving Judah and sending his mother and sister to prison.
