A lavish biblical epic following the life of David, from his humble origins as a shepherd boy in ancient Israel through his celebrated defeat of the Philistine giant Goliath, to his rise as king. The film traces his complex relationships, political struggles, and moral failings, including his affair with Bathsheba and the turbulent rebellion led by his son Absalom. Richard Gere plays the title role across the full span of David's life, portraying both his triumphs and his deeply human contradictions.
