Ben-Hur grew up in a Roman-occupied Palestine as a wealthy young Jew whose family is respected of the citizenry but whose friend, Massala, a Roman warrior, betrays him by treacherously accusing him of the attempted murder of a Roman Prince.
Suddenly the whole family is separated and punished: Ben-Hur is sent away as a slave and his mother and sister are imprisoned in a leper colony.
