Nachdem "Ben Hur" bei der Oscar®-Verleihung 1959 den Rekord von 11 Oscar-Auszeichnungen, unter anderem für die Kategorien "Bester Film", "Bester Schauspieler" und "Beste Regie" für sich beanspruchen konnte, war seine Bedeutung als eines der größten Meisterwerke der Filmgeschichte fortan unbestritten. Durch die große Anerkennung und den überwältigenden Erfolg beim Publikum wurde Ben Hur zu einem echten Klassiker. Mit einer Drehzeit von zehn Monaten und einem zu der Zeit üppigen Budget von 15 Millionen Dollar, ist dieses epische Werk der 50er Jahre ein filmisches Glanzstück, das kaum übertroffen wurde. Dieser beeindruckende Film wird von großen Schauspielern wie Charlton Heston und einer überwältigenden Anzahl spektakulären Szenen, gekrönt von dem vielzitierten Wagenrennen, getragen.
