Synopsis
Handsomely-mounted historical epic
concerns the birth of the Islamic faith and the story of the prophet
Mohammed — who, in accordance with the tenants of Islam, is never to be
depicted (as this is against certain Islamic schools of thought). In
Mecca in the 7th century, Mohammed is visited by a vision of the Angel Gabriel, who urges him to lead the people of Mecca to cast aside the 300 idols
of Kaaba and instead worship the one true God, speaking out against the
corrupt political and military leaders who rule Mecca. With the help of
his uncle, a brave warrior named Hamza (Anthony Quinn), Mohammed and
his followers return to Mecca to liberate the city in the name of God.
The Message (originally screened in the U.S. as Mohammed, Messenger of
God) proved to be highly controversial during its production and initial
release. Unfounded rumors had it that Mohammed would not only be
depicted in the film, but that he was to be played
by Charlton Heston or Peter O’Toole. This resulted in protests by some
Muslim, until director Moustapha Akkad hired a staff of respected
Islamic clerics as technical advisors. The Message was shot in two
versions, one in English and one in Arabic (entitled Al-Ris-Alah), with different actors taking over some of the roles due to language requirements. .
