Ben-Hur | Chariot Race | FULL SCENE | Warner Classics

 

Ben-Hur (Charlton Heston) takes on Messala (Stephen Boyd) in an ancient roman chariot race. This scene is one of the greatest stunt feats in film history, choreographed by Enos Edward "Yakima" Canutt and shot at Cinecittá Studios, outside of Rome. The scene took nearly a year to film and over 70 horses were bought and imported for the scene.

After lots of buildup the first shot of Elizabeth Taylor as Cleopatra arriving in Rome, her young son in tow, presenting him to his father Caesar (Rex Harrison), commenting on the event with his aide Antony (Richard Burton), in a true “money scene,” from Joseph L. Mankiewicz’s CLEOPATRA (’63).

Trying hard to look like Gary Cooper!
