Burt Lancaster and Anthony Quayle star in this epic mini-series following the life of Moses. As an infant, Moses escapes the edict calling for the death of all male Hebrew babies and is raised in the Egyptian court by a princess.

After her death, Moses returns to his poverty-stricken people including his sister Miriam and brother Aaron. He flees into the desert to marry Zipporah, the chief of the Midianites and there encounters the voice of God in a burning bush.

Moses returns to Egypt and confronts the Pharoah, predicting the Ten Plagues and then leading his people out of a devastated Egypt on the Exodus. While searching for the Promised Land he once more encounters God who dictates to him the 10 Commandments.
