Jacob's life - how he usurped his brother Esau's birthright and blessing, his courtship of Rachel and the deception of Rachel's father on their wedding night, the pillow of stone, the ladder to heaven, wrestling with God - are set against the heartache and hope of his relationship with the woman he seems destined never to possess. Sustained by his faith in God and his love for Rachel, Jacob perseveres...and becomes the father of the twelve tribes of Israel. (Cast: Matthew Modine, Lara Flynn Boyle, Sean Bean)

PART 1: Faith in God. Escape from slavery. The two great themes from the Old Testament book of Exodus are given thrilling new life in this recreation of how Moses led the children of Israel from bondage in Egypt to freedom in the Promised Land. Moses' story is told in all the glory and spectacle: his childhood in Pharaoh's court, God's voice from the burning bush, the dreadful plagues, the parting of the Red Sea, the bestowing of the Ten Commandments, and the long-awaited return to Canaan.
