Jul 16, 2020 · If anybody knows anything about Ben-Hur, it's chariot races. Every film version of the story (three movies, one mini-series) has as its centerpiece the great chariot race between the title character, Judah Ben-Hur, and his childhood frenemy, Messala.
Oct 20, 2020 · Ben Hur and his splendid white horses emerge victorious. The dramatic scene of the chariot race was shot at Cinecittá Studios, in Rome, on an arena track that covered 18 acres, the largest single set in motion picture history at the time.
Two significant changes between the novel and the earlier, silent film are that, while in the 1925 film, the race takes place in Antioch, in the 1959 film it takes place in Judea and, whereas in the novel, Messala lives, but is crippled for life after the race, in the 1925 film the character's death only is implied.
