About This Movie

The Robe is a 1953 drama and history film directed by Henry Koster. Its leading cast includes Richard Burton, Jean Simmons and Victor Mature. It runs for 2 hours 15 minutes. It belongs to the Demetrius Collection.

Synopsis

Drunk and disillusioned Roman, Marcellus Gallio, wins Jesus' robe in a dice game after the crucifixion. Marcellus has never been a man of faith like his slave, Demetrius, but when Demetrius escapes with the robe, Marcellus experiences disturbing visions and feels guilty for his actions. Convinced that destroying the robe will cure him, Marcellus sets out to find Demetrius — and discovers his Christian faith along the way.
