Martin Landau stars as Abraham in this sweeping
historical drama of a man, his people and their
faith. Centered on one of the oldest and greatest
spiritual texts of the Western world, IN THE
BEGINNING is a powerfully rendered film, retelling
some of the most enduring stories from the Old
Testament - those of the Hebrew patriarch Abraham
and his lineage. Sacrificing neither power nor
passion, this saga begins with creation and
Abraham's call to find the Promised Land, then
seamlessly weaves together the epic quest of a
people through the lives of Isaac, Rebeccah, Esau
and Jacob, the remarkable rise to power of Joseph.
Moses and the burning bush, and the origin of
Passover. World-class visual effects will awe
today's viewers just as the actual biblical events
awed those who first witnessed them. As the story
culminates with Moses handing the staff of Abraham
to Aaron, gazing upon the new land, there is sense
that a new chapter in the life of the Jewish
people is just beginning...with renewed hope,
increased faith and promise for all generations.
