Day of Triumph is a landmark film in cinematic history. As the first life of Jesus since the silent movie era, it allowed audiences to hear Jesus speak on screen for the first time.

The profound and poignant story of Jesus’ life is uniquely reflected through the eyes of the Zealots. Led by Zadok (Lee J. Cobb), the Zealots are plotting to overthrow the Roman rulers and are seeking a leader of great magnetism. Could it be the man Jesus, who is exciting everyone with his miracles and wisdom, and whom the populace is hailing as the Messiah? Judas conspires to have Jesus arrested to furnish the spark that will launch the revolt. But the plan backfires and Jesus is crucified—only to reappear as the risen Christ.
