Religious drama on the life of Joseph from the Old Testament of the Bible. Starry cast led by Ben Kingsley, Martin Landau and Lesley Anne Warren. Over 15 years in development and a further ten in the making, the series\' aim was to bring the stories of the Old Testament to life for contemporary audiences using big screen film methods and the best actors and directors available. As Joseph enjoys love and gifts (including the celebrated coat) bestowed by his father, his brothers conspire against him and eventually sell him into bondage to an Egyptian. But Joseph is strong and clever and rises out of slavery to become a powerful and wealthy Egyptian official. As famine racks the whole region, the brothers are drawn inexorably to Egypt to seek help and food and are set on a collision course with Joseph.
