Storyline / Plot Summary

Brian Cohen is an average young Jewish man, but through a series of ridiculous events, he gains a reputation as the Messiah. When he’s not dodging his followers or being scolded by his shrill mother, the hapless Brian has to contend with the pompous Pontius Pilate and acronym-obsessed members of a separatist movement. Rife with Monty Python’s signature absurdity, the tale finds Brian’s life paralleling Biblical lore, albeit with many more laughs.

Directed by Terry Jones, Life of Brian brings together a talented cast and crew to deliver an unforgettable cinematic experience. With a runtime of 94 minutes, this comedy promises to captivate audiences with its compelling narrative and stunning visuals.
