In Judea, a group of rebels plots against the Roman rule. When Jesus becomes a mass following phenomenon, the rebels see in him a potential leader of their movement. But Jesus has another agenda.
This is an original take on the Gospel story, with Judas Iscariot being given a different role than what is established in the canonical version. I have come to see the Jesus story and teachings as rather funny in themselves; this merging of that story with elements from a real political movement is a fictional exercise which has some amount of entertaining value, but not much consequence. The acting here is good all around, and the production values are just passable.
