It was the end of the ancient Jewish world.

An historical epic movie script about the fall of ancient Jerusalem in A. D. 70.

Simon bar Giora, a reluctant Jewish warrior in the first century, is drawn in to defend the city of Jerusalem and its Temple against two enemies: One, a zealous fanatic leading a civil war from within the city; and the other, General Titus and his massive war machine of Roman legions marching upon the city to destroy it from without.

When Jewish princess Berenice seeks to save her people by appealing to Roman general Titus, they begin a secret affair which forces Berenice to choose between her goal of becoming an empress and the survival of her nation.

Based on the true story about the Jewish war with Rome as described in the annals of historian Flavius Josephus. This is a timeless tale of faith, hope and love in the face of total annihilation.

Read the script. Imagine the movie.

Shorter than a novel. You'll learn how to read a script so you can watch the movie in your mind as you read the story on the page.
