The Ten Commandments (1956) begins with the desperate plight of Hebrew males in Egypt, where Pharaoh Rameses I decrees their execution. To save her newborn son, a Hebrew mother places him in a basket and sets him afloat on the Nile. The baby Moses is rescued by Pharaoh's daughter Bithiah, who raises him as her own in the royal court of her brother, Pharaoh Seti. Moses earns Seti's approval and the affection of Princess Nefertiri, while also incurring the wrath of Seti's son, Rameses. Upon discovering his Hebrew lineage, Moses is banished from Egypt. He journeys through the desert, marries, has a son, and receives a divine mission to liberate the Hebrews from bondage. Upon his return to Egypt, Moses faces his most formidable adversary, not Rameses, but an individual close to him who can 'harden his heart'.
