Description

It is the 7th century and in Mecca, where powerful leaders are in conflict with Mohammad who attacks the many injustices their way of life produces slavery, drunkeness and cruelty. Mohammad claims to have seen a vision of the Angel Gabriel and calls to the people of Mecca to worship one God only.

After a revelation from God, Mohammad agrees to take arms against Mecca and at the Wells of Bedr the inexperienced Moslem troops are victorious. However, at the Battle of Uhud they are beaten. They accept a ten year truce, so that they can continue to spread the word of God.

Mohammad is the prophet... The Messenger of God.

It was a movie seven years in the making, filmed in two separate versions with a cast of thousands, and featuring Oscar® nominated score by Maurice Jarre (Dr. Zhivago, A Passage to India). This is the epic story of the prophet Mohammed, whose holy revelations defied a pagan society and changed the world forever. Two-time Academy Award® winner Anthony Quinn (Lawrence of Arabia) stars in this landmark international hit produced and directed by Moustapha Akkad (Lion of the Desert) that remains the most powerful and acclaimed movie ever made about the birth of Islam.

    Es ist wirklich eine Schande, dass man diesen Film nicht mehr auf Deutsch kriegt.
    Dieser Film ist ein absolutes Muss für alle, die sich für Religionen interessieren. Es ist weit mehr als nur eine Biographie des Propheten Muhammed.
    Uebrigens, eine Bestleistung von Anthony Quinn. Wäre dieser Film im Zusammenhang mit Christentum oder Judentum, hätte er garantiert einen Oskar für diese Rolle erhalten.
