Synopsis

Mel Gibson co-wrote, co-produced and directed this controversial but powerful interpretation of the final hours in the life of Jesus. The film, with dialogue in Hebrew, Latin and Aramaic, sparked charges of anti-Semitism, and was denounced by some critics for its excessive violence. In the crucifixion scene, Gibson's hands nail Jesus to the cross.
