Plot

One of the most stylish and successful epics to emerge from the Hollywood-on-the-Tiber phase of film history. Quinn plays Barabbas a man literally marked with the blood of Jesus, whose spiritual/physical journey begins at the Crucifixion and, after a period in the sulphur mines, ends in the Roman gladiator arena, where he tries to win his freedom and confront his inner demons.
