This would have to be Richard Gere's worst misfortune. He accepted a role in a biblical epic of what looks like a film which had a very small budget. A film with a nonsensical script of a supposed event in the history of the world.
This is a movie which has neither a great deal of artistic merit, nor a lot of historic or religious fact. Watch it if you want to, but you have been warned of its lack of merit.
The film tells how King Saul is told by a prophet that he is not being harsh enough with the enemies of Israel, and the prophet demonstrates to the King how Israel should treat the captured enemies by beheading the captured enemy king.
Enter David the shepherd, who charms Saul with his musical skills, and - predictably - slays the champion of the Philistines, Goliath.
From there, the plot goes downhill, and could only interest people who are dedicated to the bible.
