The first movie ever filmed in CinemaScope®, The Robe was nominated for five Academy Awards® in 1953, including Best picture and Best Actor for Richard Burton. Burton stars as Marcellus Gallio, the Roman centurion charged with overseeing the crucifixion, but when he wins Christ's robe in a gambling game at the foot of the cross, his life is forever changed. An inspiring story set to a spectacular score and featuring an all-star cast including Victor Mature and Jean Simmons, The Robe remains one of the screen's greatest Biblical epics.
