With an IMDb score of 8.1/10 and 88% on Rotten Tomatoes from 3,117 ratings, it is well-reviewed by critics and audiences alike. Released in 1959, the film is a recognisable touchstone of 1950s history, and remains widely watched decades later.

The film stars Charlton Heston, Stephen Boyd, and Hugh Griffith. At 212 minutes, it's a substantial commitment at over two hours. Plan accordingly: this is a movie that rewards a single sitting rather than being broken across multiple sessions.
