Show notes
Just in time for Easter, we get passionate about a film with a very inflammatory title, The Passover Plot (1976). Directed by Michael Campus (The Mack, Z.P.G.), the film is loosely based upon the controversial book by Hugh J. Schonfield. It stars Zalman King as Jesus, Scott Wilson as Judas, and Donald Pleasence as Pontius Pilate, and co-produced by Menahem Golan.
