The Passion of the Christ depicts the last 12 hours of the life of Jesus of Nazareth (Caviezel), beginning with his betrayal by Judas Iscariot (Lionello) and ending with his crucifixion and subsequent resurrection. The film uses flashbacks to substantiate a handful of pertinent moments in Jesus' life and teachings, such as the Sermon on the Mount and the Last Supper, as well as his relationships with his mother and his disciples. Still, the drama focuses on the seemingly endless torture inflicted upon Jesus by Roman soldiers at the urging of the Jewish crowd that considers him a blasphemer, despite the attempts of a sympathetic Pontius Pilate (Shopov) to spare him from death.
