An infant escapes the edict calling for the death of all male Hebrew babies and is raised in the Egyptian Court by a princess who gives him the name Moses. After her death Moses (Burt Lancaster) returns to his poverty stricken people, including his sister Miriam (Ingrid Thulin) and brother' Aaron (Anthony Quayle). He flees into the desert to marry Zipporah (Irene Papas) the Chief of the Midianites. There he encounters the voice of God in the burning bush. Moses goes back to Egypt, confronts the Pharoah, predicts the ten plagues, leads the Exodus, receives the Ten Commandments, takes the Israelites from exile and finally, before his death, sees the Promised Land.
