The Passion of the Christ is a powerful and controversial film directed by Mel Gibson that depicts the last twelve hours of Jesus of Nazareth's life. It is primarily based on the New Testament accounts of the four Gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.
The film opens with Jesus praying in the Garden of Gethsemane while his disciples, Peter, James, and John, struggle to stay awake. Judas Iscariot arrives with a group of soldiers and betrays Jesus with a kiss, leading to his arrest. Jesus is then taken to the house of Annas, the former high priest, where he is questioned and abused.
The religious leaders, headed by Caiaphas, gather together and conduct a trial against Jesus to find him guilty of blasphemy. Unable to administer the death penalty themselves, they bring Jesus to Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor. Despite finding no fault in Jesus, Pilate succumbs to pressure from the crowd demanding Jesus' crucifixion.
Jesus is viciously scourged and beaten by Roman soldiers, who mock and taunt him, placing a crown of thorns on his head. Afterward, he is handed over to the Jewish mob who further humiliate him, spitting on him and hurling insults. Pilate, hoping to appease the crowd, offers to release either Jesus or Barabbas, a notorious criminal. The crowd chooses to have Barabbas released, sealing Jesus' fate.
Forced to carry his own cross, Jesus embarks on the painful journey to Golgotha, known as the Place of the Skull, where he is to be crucified. Along the way, he is tormented by the Roman soldiers and receives help from Simon of Cyrene, who is made to carry the cross for a brief moment.
At Golgotha, Jesus is nailed to the cross, while his mother, Mary, and his devoted followers, including Mary Magdalene and John, witness his agonizing crucifixion. Throughout the torture, Jesus maintains his composure and continues to forgive those who harm him, uttering phrases such as "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do."
As Jesus hangs on the cross, darkness falls over the land, and he cries out to God. Moments before his death, Jesus exclaims, "It is finished," indicating the completion of his mission on Earth. He takes his final breath and dies, causing an earthquake that shakes the city.
The film concludes with Jesus' body being taken down from the cross and laid in his mother's arms, followed by his entombment. As the stone rolls in front of the tomb, a glimmer of light signifies the hope of resurrection.
The Passion of the Christ aims to portray the brutal physical and emotional suffering endured by Jesus, emphasizing his ultimate sacrifice and message of forgiveness and redemption. It sparked debates regarding its graphic violence and alleged anti-Semitic undertones, while also garnering praise for its portrayal of faith and religious devotion.
