The movie Risen follows the epic Biblical story of the Resurrection, as told through the eyes of a non-believer. Clavius, a powerful Roman Military Tribune, and his aide Lucius, are tasked with solving the mystery of what happened to Jesus in the weeks following the crucifixion, in order to disprove the rumors of a risen Messiah and prevent an uprising in Jerusalem.
Twelve years after the blockbuster film about Jesus’ crucifixion, Passion Of The Christ, and many others like it, the movie Risen picks up where Passion Of The Christ dropped off in the biblical story of Jesus’ death, resurrection and ascension. In Risen, a Roman military tribune, second to Pontius Pilate, who saw Jesus die, now must dispel rumors that He is alive.
