Abraham

1993 · 184 min

A solemn, sprawling biblical epic that unfolds patiently, asking you to sit with one man's long, testing devotion across deserts and decades.

Overview
Rather than choosing a great leader or king, God chooses Abraham, an elderly shepherd from Mesopotamia, as the way to establish his Covenant with mankind... A man of great faith, Abraham continues to believe in God even when He seems to have abandoned him.
