Director Ridley Scott’s Exodus: Gods and Kings forgoes the usual “baby in a basket” start to Moses’ (Christian Bale) story, beginning instead with him as a general in Pharaoh Seti’s (John Turturro) army and devoted figurative brother to heir Ramses (Joel Edgerton). This Moses is initially skeptical of religion, and also not overly concerned with the plight of the Hebrews (but he’s still more sympathetic to their treatment than anyone else in his Egyptian circle).
It's not until an elder, Nun (Sir Ben Kingsley), secretly reveals to Moses that he is in fact a Hebrew that he slowly, reluctantly starts to accept his true identity. Banished by Ramses, Moses wanders through the desert until he arrives in a village where he meets Zipporah (the fetching María Valverde in an underwritten role), who eventually becomes his wife.
