The Ten Commandments (2025) — Film Description
Genre: Epic Historical Drama | Biblical | Adventure
Runtime: ~160 minutes
Rating: PG-13 (for intense sequences and thematic elements)
The Ten Commandments (2025) is a sweeping, cinematic retelling of the story of Moses, the reluctant prophet who defies a kingdom to lead his people to freedom. Set against the grandeur of ancient Egypt and the harsh beauty of the Sinai desert, the film follows Moses’ journey from prince of Egypt to liberator of the Israelites, culminating in the divine revelation of the Ten Commandments atop Mount Sinai.
When Moses, adopted into Pharaoh’s royal household, discovers his Hebrew origins, he is cast into exile. After years in the wilderness, he encounters the burning bush — a voice of God commanding him to return and demand Pharaoh release the Hebrew slaves. Facing plagues, oppression, betrayal, and divine wonders, Moses becomes a reluctant but resolute leader, standing against the might of Ramses II, his former brother.
The climax builds toward the parting of the Red Sea, the miraculous Exodus, and the awe-inspiring moment on Mount Sinai, where the law is given — not just to a nation, but to history.
