The made-for-television film JUDAS takes the novel approach of retelling the story of Christ`s Passion through the viewpoint of his betrayer, Judas Iscariot (Johnathon Schaech). Depicted as a would-be revolutionary bent on freeing the Hebrews from Roman occupation, Judas believes he`s found a political ally in the form of an emerging young prophet named Jesus of Nazareth (Jonathan Scarfe). But after joining Jesus` band of followers, Judas becomes increasingly frustrated by his new friend`s rejection of violent rebellion in favor of pacifist spirituality and eventually betrays him to the Roman authorities and their sadistic viceroy Pontius Pilate (Tim Matheson). A daring psychological exploration of one the most reviled figures in religious history, this TV movie is the first to gauge Judas Iscariot as a real and complex human being struggling with his own spiritual and moral conflicts.
