Esther

In a kingdom stretching from India to Ethiopia, King Ahasverus sets aside Vashti and chooses Esther as his queen. With information from her uncle and patron Mordecai, Esther saves the king from assassination. When Mordecai refuses to bow to Haman, the king's favorite, Haman orders the death of all Jews under the king's seal. Esther pleads for her people, and Mordecai receives license to issue his own edict, but he loses sight of his original intention and bloody murder follows. Purim annually celebrates the story, and at the film's end the actors comment.
