– Martin Scorsese

THE GREATEST STORY EVER TOLD has been restored by Amazon MGM Studios in collaboration with George Stevens, Jr. and the Film Foundation. Special thanks to Martin Scorsese. 8K film scan from the 65mm original negative (Ultra Panavision 70) and restoration done at Fotokem.

This glorious epic is an inspiring, grand-scale recreation of the life of Jesus of Nazareth.
