This last truly great religious epic is the story of Islam.
It is the 7th Century and the of Mecca is alive with intrigue. The powerful leaders, including Bu-Sofyan, his wife, Hind, and the wealthy aristocrat Umaya, are in bitter conflict with one man, Mohammad, whose teachings are undermining their despotic power. Most dangerous of all to Bu-Sofyan and his kind is Mohammed's revelation that he has seen a vision of the angel Gabriel - and his call to the people of Mecca to worship not 300 idols but one God…
Mohammed's followers are persecuted and tortured. Strong as they are in spirit and courage, the Moslems are forced to leave Mecca, fleeing to Medina for sanctaury. Homeless, they encourage Mohammed to lead them in battle for their beliefs, but he is reluctant, until called upon by God.
Despite overwhelming odds, when the two armies meet at the Wells of Bedr the force of the Moslem's passionate faith triumphs. God chosen people returned to the Holy City of Mecca and one of the world's greatest religions is born.
Filmed on location in the Sahara Desert, Morocco and Libya, with a cast of thousands.
