Centuries ago in ancient Egypt, the Pharaoh Seti (Sir Patrick Stewart) ordered all the Hebrew baby boys to be executed. A desperate mother decides to let God guide her newborn son instead of execution. Found by the Queen (Dame Helen Mirren), the baby is named Moses and brought up as a Prince of Egypt and a brother to the Pharaoh's son Rameses II. As time passes, the two brothers are separated as Moses (Val Kilmer) discovers his true heritage as a Hebrew and defies the Egyptian way of life. After escaping from the city, Moses finds that he is called by God to lead his people out of Egypt as His messenger. Unfortunately, Rameses II (Ralph Fiennes) now rules over the Hebrews with an iron fist, and it will take all of Moses' strength and God's miracles to change the world.
Egypt, thousands of years ago: Pharaoh Seti (Sir Patrick Stewart) commands all male Hebrew babies to be drowned. A desperate mother places her son in a basket and lets the Hebrew God guide him along his way on the river. The basket is found by the Queen (Dame Helen Mirren), and Moses is brought up as a brother to the heir of the throne, Rameses II (Ralph Fiennes). Years later, the brothers, who grew up happily and wealthy, are split by Moses' recognition of his true heritage and the suppressing system his brother is about to inherit, willing to carry it on. Fleeing from the city in despair, Moses (Val Kilmer) finds himself being called by God. He is given the task of being the messenger in order to free the Hebrews and to lead them into the land of milk and honey.
