The inspiring story of how artist-sculptor Michelangelo painted the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel and of his struggles with Pope Julius II who commissioned the monumental work that took fully four years to complete. In director Carl Reed's words, "the study of a genius," enhanced by dramatic performances from Charlton Heston as Michelangelo and Rex Harrison as Julius. The picture was nominated for five Academy Awards - for its cinematography and superb art direction and costume designs. Also for its sound and dramatic music score.
