What is the title of this historical epic starring Charlton Heston as a Jewish prince seeking revenge against the Romans?

If you've ever wondered where the term "a cast of thousands" comes from, look no further than William Wyler's 1959 religious epic Ben-Hur. The film's production stats are staggering: 15,000 extras, a (record-breaking) $15 million+ budget, a costume department of 100, the largest set ever built, and on and on. The film's famous chariot race scene alone took 15 weeks to shoot.
