It was a movie seven years in the making, filmed in two separate versions with a cast of thousands, and featuring an Oscar®-nominated score by Maurice Jarre. This is the epic story of the prophet Mohammad, whose holy revelations defied a pagan society and changed the world forever. Two-time Academy Award® winner Anthony Quinn stars in this landmark international hit produced and directed by Moustapha Akkad which remains the most powerful and acclaimed movie ever made about the birth of Islam.
