Moses is a 1995 internationally co-produced Biblical drama television miniseries directed by Roger Young, written by Lionel Chetwynd, and starring Ben Kingsley, Frank Langella and Christopher Lee. Moses was shot in Morocco and aired in the United States on the TNT Network and internationally on the Trinity Broadcasting Network. The film is a part of TNT's Bible Collection.
Moses, an Israelite raised by the Egyptian royal family, is chosen by God to release the Hebrew people from slavery and lead them to the Promised Land. Based on the biblical story.
Peter T. Chattaway from Patheos gave Moses a good review and praised Kingsley's performance: "For sheer human realism, Kingsley’s is probably the best interpretation of Moses any film has offered to date."[1]
Moses was nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award in the category of "Outstanding Miniseries".[2] In a 2006 interview, Kingsley described the role of Moses as one of his most challenging and enjoyable screen roles to date. He also recalled a moment when he and Lee had kept the extras and crew entertained during a break between shooting with a rendition of "Moses Supposes" from the musical Singin' in the Rain.[3]
