Sure enough, audiences and awards voters took them at their word. Ben-Hur swiftly took its place behind only Gone With the Wind in the all-time box office charts, and roared through the Oscars with 11 wins — a record that stood alone until Titanic and The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King equalled it decades later. Yet there was an oddly, inadvertently back-handed undertone to that grandstanding: Ben-Hur may have been the entertainment experience of one lifetime, yes, but has it endured through subsequent ones? Shorn of event status, is Ben-Hur a classic, or is it simply a title people know, a signifier of a particular brand of epic cinema? The arduous rowing in the galleys, most likely.

This tale of warring friends-who-are-closer-than-brothers feels like a Jeffrey Archer script that Lew Grade would have turned down in But this is a greenscreen Ben-Hur and the passion and grandeur of scale have gone missing. How exactly someone of this sensational ancestry comes to be adopted is not clear.
