CBN.com is thrilled to share this exclusive footage from the making of Ben-Hur, a blockbuster-sized remake of Charlton Heston's 1959 action/adventure. Based on American author Lew Wallace's original work, this new film follows the story of Judah Ben-Hur (Huston), a falsely accused and enslaved Jewish nobleman who's on a quest for revenge against the adopted brother (Kebbell) who betrayed his family.

Aptly titled "A Tale of Forgiveness", this extended featurette takes an in-depth look at the heart and soul of Ben-Hur. Check out this early preview of the film and see what Christian leaders are raving about:
