Esther: The Bible

Captivated by the lovely Esther (Louise Lombard), King Ahasuerus of Persia (Thomas Kretschmann) makes her his queen, unaware that she’s Jewish. But when Prime Minister Haman (Jürgen Prochnow) orders a day of assault on the Jews, Esther reveals her heritage to the king and implores him to help her people. F. Murray Abraham co-stars as Mordecai, Esther’s proud cousin, in this faithful retelling of the biblical story.
