The Jesus Film

The Jesus Film (1979) is a biblical drama film that tells the story of Jesus Christ's three and a half years of ministry, primarily based on the Gospel of Luke. The film features Brian Deacon as Jesus, Rivka Neuman as Mary, and Niko Nitai as Simon Peter, among others. Shot on location in Israel with a budget of $6 million financed by Campus Crusade for Christ, the film follows Jesus' life, teachings, and miracles without deviating from the Gospel of Luke's account.
