Three of the World's great religions - Christianity, Islam and Judaism - look back to Abraham as their founder and Father in Faith; a great prophet who suffered and fought for his faith and spirituality. Richard Harris (Harry Potter films, Gladiator, Patriot Games, Camelot) is commanding in the title performance as he submits to God's great trials. Barbara Hershey (Lantana, Tin Men, Hannah & Her Sisters) sensitively plays the role of the beautiful but tragically infertile Sara, tempered and tested by the Pharoah played brilliantly by Maximilian Schell (Deep Impact, Players, Odessa File). This three-hour epic production re-tells one of the greatest stories from the Bible as Abraham stands firm with incredible courage and his trust in God's promise that "... in thee shall all families of the Earth be blest" (Genesis 12, 2-3).
