The 2016 version of this story has many things to be liked. The replay of the Chariot race is again the high light, and it is very intense. However it lacks the hubs sticking out which rip the spokes of the other racers. It does have considerable peril. This movie also lacks the part where Judas Ben Hur saves the Roman consul, so he comes back to Israel not as a Roman citizen, but as an outlaw, for whom his benefactor makes arrangements for his release, if he wins the race.
Morgan Freeman places the benefactor, Ilderim, Jack Huston plays Ben-Hur, Toby Kebell his adopted brother and nemesis, Messala, Nazanin Boniadi Ben-Hur's wife, Ayelet Zurer Ben-Hur's mother and Sofia Black D'Elia his sister,
The redemption scene at the end of this movie, I do not remember from the original movie; however it is well done. After being enemies for so many years, Judah and his adoptive brother make amends, and the go off with Ilderim, along with the rest of the family. They are going to tour others circuses to race chariots.
