The story of the last 12 hours in the life of Jesus (Caviezel), on the day of his crucifixion in Jerusalem. This film's script is based upon several sources, including the diaries of St. Anne Catherine Emmerich (1774-1824) as collected in the book, "The Dolorous Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ", "The Mystical City of God" by St. Mary of Agreda, and the New Testament books of John, Luke, Mark and Matthew.

Apparently for some people (many in Hollywood) this is the most controversial movie in years. A billion Christians around the world are thinking "what's the problem?" Most Believers and non-believers alike will have to admire Gibson's single-minded vision to produce a movie that explains why one man's message of love, hope and redemption has echoed across the globe for the past 2000 years.
