Three VFX artists appraise Timur Bekmambetov’s 2016 epic historical drama Ben-Hur. Based on Lew Wallace’s best-selling novel titled Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ, this remake tells the story of the titular character, a prince who seeks to return to his homeland for retribution after being falsely accused of committing treason by his adopted brother and best friend. While previous Ben-Hur releases have been highly regarded, this adaptation was met with mostly negative reviews, and it also ended up a box office failure.
