In the Holy Land, the Roman occupation has produced a cauldron of oppression, anxiety and excessive taxes levied upon the Jewish people. Fearing the wrath of Roman governor Pontius Pilate , Jewish high priest Caiaphas tries to keep control of his people. That control is threatened when Jesus arrives in Jerusalem, performing miracles and spreading messages of love and hope. Those who fear that Jesus will inspire a revolution decide that he must die.
Editor's Verdict
"The movie 'Son of God' focuses on the life, ministry, crucifixion, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. While these events are foundational to the religious significance of Christmas (the Nativity), the film itself covers a span of years and does not focus on the Christmas season (the birth narrative). Therefore, it fails to meet the primary criteria for a contemporary Christmas movie."
