Review of Masada

Masada (1981)
8/10
Excellent dramatic presentation of a tragic real life event
31 May 2018
The drama presented here is well structured and well acted. Peter O'Tool and Peter Strauss bring a sense of depth to their characters and are more than ably supported by the rest of the cast. Production looks perhaps a little dated compared to modern standards.

The series was filmed in Judea, lending a authenticity to the shots.

We were lucky enough to visit the Holy Land in 2017. Part of our trip was to Masada. Knowing just a little of the historic context makes the drama more fulfilling but a worthy watch without it.
