In this animated adaptation of the Bible story, Moses (Christian Slater) hears the voice of God (Elliott Gould) from a burning bush, which inspires him to confront Egypt's pharaoh (Alfred Molina) and demand freedom for the Israelite slaves. The pharaoh agrees after a series of horrific plagues, and Moses leads the Israelites through the parted Red Sea into the harsh freedom of the desert. There he ascends Mount Sinai and returns with the Ten Commandments. The narration is by Ben Kingsley.
