Lush production values and the presence of Orson Welles (who directs his scenes) elevate this intriguing Biblical epic. The Philistines have declared war on the Israelites. Saul (Welles), king of Israel, receives word from the prophets that their new king will be a shepherd named David (Ivica Pajer). The film follows David's ascent from his humble beginnings to his famed confrontation with the Philistine giant Goliath.
