Phantom Stallion

Rex Allen comes to California as a wagon train guide during the period of the great Spanish ranchos and finds his old buddy Slim, from when they were U. S. Cavalrymen, working for fiery-tempered rancho owner Mike Reilly. Reilly has being losing a lot of his fine, blooded horses, and he is sure they have been lured off to join a herd of wild horses. His niece Claire Reilly, whose beauty conceals a cold murderous nature, and his foreman Gil encourage him in this belief, but they have actually been stealing and selling the horses, and they are planning on killing the old man and enjoying his possessions together as Claire believes herself the heiress to Rancho Reilly. Rex's timely arrival saves Reilly from their first attempt when Claire, on the pretense of going for help, has left him to be trampled to death by the wild stallion leader of the herd. Reilly orders the new-born offspring of the stallion to be shot and Gill has his gun ready to carry out the order when Tony, a young Mexican boy Reilly has adopted, tries to stop him. Rex sides with Tony, who takes off with the filly while Rex and Gill fight. Rex captures the wild stallion and also discovers that there are no full-blooded horses among the herd. When Reilly hears this, he accuses Claire and Gill of having stolen his horses and fires Gill. That night, Claire lures Reilly from the house on the pretense the stallion is escaping, and Gill knocks him down and has his horse trample him to death. Rex's inspection of the body reveals that the horse that killed Reilly wore iron shoes and he knows the wild horse wasn't shod, so he concludes that Reilly's death was murder. With the aid of Reilly's lawyer, Rex convinces her that Reilly's will left everything to Tony, and then sets a tarp for Claire and Gill when they try to kill the boy.

The Passion of the Christ

2 hr 7 mins
A depiction of the last twelve hours in the life of Jesus of Nazareth, on the day of his crucifixion in Jerusalem. The story opens in the Garden of Olives where Jesus has gone to pray after the Last Supper. Betrayed by Judas Iscariot, the controversial Jesus - who has performed 'miracles' and has publicly announced that he is 'the Son of God' - is arrested and taken back within the city walls of Jerusalem. There, the leaders of the Pharisees confront him with accusations of blasphemy; subsequently, his trial results with the leaders condemning him to his death. Jesus is brought before Pontius Pilate, the prefect of the Roman province of Judaea, for his sentencing. Pilate listens to the accusations leveled at Jesus by the Pharisees. Realizing that his own decision will cause him to become embroiled in a political conflict, Pilate defers to King Herod in deciding the matter of how to persecute Jesus. However, Herod returns Jesus to Pilate who, in turn, gives the crowd a choice between which prisoner they would rather to see set free - Jesus, or Barabbas. The crowd chooses to have Barabbas set free. Thus, Jesus is handed over to the Roman soldiers and is brutally flagellated. Bloody and unrecognizable, he is brought back before Pilate who, once again, presents him to the thirsty crowd - assuming they will see that Jesus has been punished enough. The crowd, however, is not satisfied. Thus, Pilate washes his hands of the entire dilemma, ordering his men to do as the crowd wishes. Whipped and weakened, Jesus is presented with the cross and is ordered to carry it through the streets of Jerusalem, all the way up to Golgotha. There, more corporal cruelty takes place as Jesus is nailed to the cross-suffering, he hangs there, left to die. Initially, in his dazed suffering, Jesus is alarmed that he has been abandoned by God his father. He then beseeches God. At the moment of his death, nature itself over-turns.
