St. Peter (2005)

In the epic historical drama "St. Peter" (2005), we follow the tempestuous journey of Saint Peter, a hesitant yet fervent leader navigating the tumultuous times from Jesus's crucifixion to his own. The first half of the narrative brings to life the vibrant tapestry of the New Testament's "Acts": the initial dread, the spiritual renaissance of Pentecost, Saul's transformative conversion, the controversial decision to baptize pagans, and the scattering of the Apostles. In the latter half, we accompany an aged Peter to Rome, where he joins Paul, coincidentally on the day of Paul's arrest. With Paul's demise, a crisis ensues shaking the foundations of Rome's Christian community and Peter himself. Guided by the enduring wisdom of Jesus's teachings, Peter makes the momentous decision to stay, facing the storm head-on. Meanwhile, the narrative deftly weaves in the turmoil within the fictive household of Persius, a Roman aristocrat, showcasing the profound upheaval that Christian teachings stir in the heart of the Eternal City. "St. Peter" is an enthralling exploration of faith, leadership, and the transformational power of belief, set against the backdrop of a Rome in the throes of change.

St. Peter is a drama movie featuring Omar Sharif and directed by Giulio Base.
