Based on the novel by Lew Wallace, Ben Hur is a film that hardly needs any introduction. A cult classic, the film is known for its scale and brilliance in storytelling.  With contributions to the screenplay by a bunch of writers (including Gore Vidal and Christopher Fry), the film had the biggest budget ever, when it was made, including 10,000 extra and around 3000 animals. Charlton Heston plays the lead role of Judah Ben Hur in this Roman tale that features the famous chariot race.
