David and Goliath
4.8
“Out of an age of splendor and savagery surges a story of the shepherd boy who became a warrior king! Never before seen on any screen!”
When the Philistines attack, the Israelites are hopeless against the fierce giant Goliath and don't know what to do. King Saul takes the advice of the prophets and sends an adolescent shepherd, David, into battle to conquer the oversized Philistine. David is victorious and becomes the King of Israel.
