Giveaway: Ben-Hur 50th Anniversary Ultimate Collector’s Edition DVD Box Set
Thanks to Warner Bros., I’m giving away the Ben-Hur 50th Anniversary Ultimate Collector’s Edition DVD box set. It’s about a Jewish prince (Judah Ben-Hur) that was betrayed and sent into slavery by his Roman friend. Ben-Hur eventually regains his freedom and comes back for revenge. The film features the late Charlton Heston as Ben-Hur. I have not seen the movie, but I’ve heard good things about it. Ben-Hur won eleven Academy Awards, including Best Picture. The Ben-Hur 50th Anniversary edition is available now on Blu-ray Combo Pack, DVD, On Demand and for Download.

I think I have seen parts of Ben Hur before. I don’t think I have seen the entire movie.
Haven’t seen it yet, but have heard good things! A friend likes it, so if I win, this would be a gift for them!

Saw this in the movie theater when it first came out and before the movie started you heard the overture which was wonderful. The movie was breathtaking and seeing on a huge Loew’s Theater screen really added something to the whole effect. Would love to win this as I have the original music album with the LP records and book that came in the box set.
