Plot Synopsis:
From the producers of "The Bible" and "Son of God" comes a biblical epic on the aftermath of the earth-shattering event of Jesus' crucifixion in first century Jerusalem. Over a gripping 90 minutes we experience the emotional turmoil faced by Jesus' followers as they attempt to come to terms with the loss of their leader. His death leaves them disillusioned, hunted and afraid; his resurrection triggers a new age of hope, faith and love that changes the world. Adapted from "AD: The Bible Continues."
A production from MGM and LightWorkers, a division of MGM, "Resurrection" is produced by Roma Downey, Mark Burnett and "The Bible" showrunner Richard Bedser. The film is directed by Ciaran Donnelly ("The Tudors") and written by Simon Block ("A.D. The Bible Continues"). Gina Cronk serves as executive producer. The music is composed by Hans Zimmer and Lorne Balfe.
