An ordinary man is called upon by God to do the impossible in this lavish production of the Old Testament story. When the Pharaoh of Egypt begins to tighten the noose on his people, Moses finds himself leading them to freedom--and lands unknown.

This television miniseries tells the story of the great Biblical prophet, Moses.
Moses's mother abandoned the infant, hoping to spare him from the Pharaoh's decree that all first-born sons of the Jews be slain. Ironically, it was the Pharaoh's daughter who discovered the child and took him to the palace, where he lived safely until adulthood.
Chosen by God as his messenger, it fell to the sometimes-reluctant Moses to deliver the Lord's word to his people. Ultimately, Moses led Israelites on their exodus from slavery, through the parted waters of the Red Sea to the land of Israel, and received the Ten Commandments from God.
Yet Moses himself often had to struggle to make his own people believe in the miraculous power of the Lord...
