Scene from "One Night with the King"

This 2006 Biblical epic is the retelling of the Jewish story of Purim. It takes place during the Achaemenid Era, in which the Persian Empire, (spoken of favorably in the Bible when compared to the Egyptian and Roman Empires) is on the verge of invading Greece once again. The main character is Hadassah, a Jewish Peasant, who becomes the Queen of Persia. As result of the mostly favorable depiction that exists in the Bible, the Persians in this movie are not necessarily "the bad guys," unlike most Hollywood fare.
