Nominated for the Best Foreign-Language Oscar in 1967, Pharaoh is a grand epic story set in ancient Egypt. Pharaoh Ramses XIII defies tradition by assuming command of the military, a post usually occupied by priests. His defiance leads to a battle between those loyal to Ramses XIII and the power structure of the priests. The priests try to fool the people by capitalizing on a solar eclipse, but Ramses XIII realizes the event is only a natural phenomenon. Impressive battle scenes and period costumes from ancient Egypt add to this colourful epic historical drama.
