Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Ben-Hur is a 2016 epic historical drama film directed by Timur Bekmambetov and based on the Lew Wallace novel of the same name.At the time of the The Roman Empire, Jewish nobleman from Jerusalem Judah Ben-Hur and his adopted Roman brother Messala are best friends despite their different origins. Everything changes when Roman governor Pontius Pilate is attacked by a Jewish faction known as the Zealots. Ben-Hur housed some of them, and despite not being part of the movement, he is arrested and sent to the galleys, with Messala doing nothing to help him out of perceived betrayal. Ben-Hur will then live a journey through hell and back, eventually making his way back to Jerusalem as a chariot racer.This version stars Jack Huston as Judah Ben-Hur, Toby Kebbell as Messala, Morgan Freeman as Sheik Ilderim, Ayelet Zurer as Naomi, Pilou Asbæk as Pontius Pilate and Rodrigo Santoro as Jesus.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })See also the 1907, 1925 and 1959 versions of the story.

comment
Adaptation Distillation: This version cuts out Judah’s adoption by Quintus Arrius and instead has him wash up on a beach where Sheikh Ilderim is staying and befriending him. It also compresses the last third where Judah angsts about his family being lepers and most everything after the chariot race. It compensates for this by having a longer opening.

Adaptational Angst Upgrade: Messala is truly remorseful for his betrayal and he suffers elements of PTSD from the wars he fought in for Rome.

comment
Adaptational Badass: Messala's wartime experiences are shown via flashbacks and he is shown as a skilled swordsman and also a competent commander. He is so good that in one battle the panicking Roman general in charge even gives him direct command of the Roman army.
