कहानी

The Ten Commandments (1956) is an epic historical drama film that tells the story of Moses, who leads the Israelites out of slavery in ancient Egypt. The movie begins with the birth of Moses, who is placed in a basket by his mother Yocheved to escape the wrath of Pharaoh Seti I. Found by the daughter of Pharaoh, Bithiah, Moses is adopted and raised as her own son, unaware of his Hebrew heritage. As Moses grows up, he becomes a prince and is taught the ways of Egyptian royalty. However, when he discovers the truth about his past and his true identity as a Hebrew, he begins to question his place in society. He eventually leaves Egypt and joins his own people, the Israelites, who are suffering under harsh treatment from the Egyptians. Moses becomes a leader among the Israelites and is called by God to lead them out of slavery. He returns to Egypt, where he challenges Pharaoh Seti I's authority and demands that he let the Israelites go. When Pharaoh refuses, Moses performs several miraculous signs and wonders, including turning his staff into a snake and parting the Red Sea. The film culminates with the famous scene in which Moses parts the Red Sea, allowing the Israelites to cross safely while the Egyptian army is engulfed by the waters. The movie ends with the Israelites celebrating their freedom and Moses, exhausted but triumphant, leading them towards the Promised Land. Throughout the film, Cecil B. DeMille's direction brings the story of Moses and the Exodus to life through vivid sets, costumes, and special effects. Charlton Heston stars as Moses, bringing gravity and conviction to his iconic role. The Ten Commandments is a classic biblical epic that has become an integral part of American cultural heritage, celebrated for its grand scale, memorable performances, and timeless themes of freedom and redemption.
