PLOT <\/strong>SYNOPSIS<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Joseph & Mary<\/em><\/strong> is a biblical drama that follows Elijah (STEVEN MCCARTHY), a devout Rabbi, during a time of unrest when King Herod the Great\u2019s (LAWRENCE BAYNE) slaughter of innocents claims the lives of two boys Elijah had sworn to protect. Elijah makes it his life\u2019s mission to avenge their deaths, but when he meets Joseph (KEVIN SORBO), Mary (LARA JEAN CHOROSTECKI), and their young son, Jesus, the beliefs fueling his revenge are put into question. When the time comes to face his lifelong enemy, Elijah finds himself torn between killing or choosing forgiveness.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\n<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

The film is presented with an anamorphic widescreen 1.78 widescreen aspect ratio and has an average Dolby Digital 5.1 track. Neither of these were special but adequate enough for the movie of this type.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
