The scene from the movie:



Ben Hur is one of the very few cases of a movie being far better than the book. It was written by Lew Wallace, a Civil war officer who was a post war Major General when he wrote it. The story itself would have filled a pamphlet. The rest was totally boring, stuff like 2 page descriptions of the flowers on a hillside.
