A powerful, historical drama set in the early 16th century. When Pope Julius II (Rex Harrison) commissions Michelangelo (Charlton Heston) to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, the project becomes a battle of wills fueled by artistic and temperamental differences. A rich and moving dramatization.
