Brutish Roman
Año 33 de nuestra era. En la provincia romana de Judea, un misterioso carpintero llamado Jesús de Nazareth comienza a anunciar la llegada del "reino de Dios" y se rodea de un grupo de humildes pescadores: los Apóstoles. Durante siglos, el pueblo judío había esperado la llegada del Mesías - personaje providencial que liberaría su sagrada patria e instauraría un nuevo orden basado en la justicia-. Las enseñanzas de Jesús atraen a una gran multitud de seguidores que lo reconocen como el Mesías. Alarmado por la situación, el Sanedrín, con la ayuda de Judas Iscariote, uno de los doce Apóstoles, arresta a Jesús. Acusado de traición a Roma, Cristo es entregado a Poncio Pilato, quien, para evitar un motín, lo condena a a morir en la cruz como un vulgar criminal.
