Judah Ben-Hur ends up in Lusitania, older and wiser, and against his initial reluctance aids a band of locals in their struggle against the occupying Romans. I must confess to enjoying this low budget film. The fight scenes were varied in quality and the look of the uniform and sets were too clean but the acting was adequate and some of the dialogue, particularly in the first half, was good. Adrian Bouchet makes a solid Hur. You can believe in his character. I also liked the odd assortment of mercenaries that were hired, Their introduction scene was well staged. The Welsh locations may not have been authentic but they look great, particularly in the chariot chase on the beach.
Another Ben-Hur also came out in 2016 with an estimated budget of $100 million . That one was worse than this one. Go figure.
