Stephen Vogt, an archaeology student, uncovers a 2000-year-old skeleton and a man’s notes
purporting to have taken a video of Jesus Christ on a camera that doesn’t yet exist. The
result is a 3-hour. blood-filled, melodramatic chase that, for me, detracted from the more
interesting religious questions that the premise might have addressed.
The two-part German
TV movie was based on the book Jesus Video by Andreas Eschbach with some significant
changes to the ending. It was released in the US with a quality English dubbing in 2006.
