The Last Temptation of Christ

Summary

Martin Scorsese's adaptation of Nikos Kazantzakis's novel follows Jesus of Nazareth, a conflicted carpenter wrestling with his divine calling and human fears as he reluctantly accepts his role as the Messiah. Tormented by doubt and tempted by visions of an ordinary life, he journeys toward Jerusalem alongside Judas and his disciples, confronting the agonizing question of whether to embrace sacrifice or surrender to mortal desire.
