The Prince of Egypt

ActionAdventureAnimationDramaFamilyFantasyMusical99 min

Raised in Egypt’s royal household, Moses (Val Kilmer) learns he was born Hebrew and is pulled toward the enslaved people he was separated from as a child. In this animated musical retelling of Exodus, his bond with his adoptive brother, Ralph Fiennes’ Rameses, hardens into a struggle between the throne and Moses’ growing sense of purpose. The film moves through the scale of ancient Egypt—palaces, temples, and royal ceremony—while keeping its focus on the relationship at the center, with two brothers pulled to opposite sides of the kingdom’s order.
