Plot

In the film, Jürgen Prochnow portrays Jesus' return to Earth, in the year 1988, to judge mankind. The final judgement is averted by an act of faith which prevents the final sign of the apocalypse from occurring. In the film, through a flashback, Prochnow also portrays the original Jesus on the eve of his crucifixion. Father Lucci is revealed to be Cartaphilus , a Roman Centurion who struck Jesus before his death and was sentenced to wander the Earth until Christ returned to judge mankind. The Lucci-Cartaphilus character is very similar to the Wandering Jew legend.

Tagline: The seals have been broken. The prophecies have begun. Now only one woman can halt the end of our world.
