From the Emmy Award-winning Bible series featuring the critically acclaimed movies Abraham, Joseph and Moses comes an all-new production starring Richard Harris as John the Apostle inThe Apocalypse.
The year is 90 A.D. and the Roman Emperor has unleashed a virulent campaign against the Christians. Held captive by the Romans, the aged apostle John (Richard Harris) struggles to save Christianity from extinction by sending letters to the Christian communities. Driven by the wish to meet the last living witness of The Lord's passion, the young Christian Irene (Vittoria Belvedere) succeeds in gaining access to John's prison. Entrusting the written record of his vision to her, he begs Irene to spread its message among the Christians. These visions form the contents of the Book of Revelation. To some the evoke the end of the world; to others, they allude to the spiritual struggles facing Christians of all eras,
