RISEN is the Biblical story of the Resurrection and the weeks that followed, as seen through the eyes of an unbelieving Clavius, a high-ranking Roman Military Tribune, played by actor Joseph Fiennes. Clavius is instructed by Pontius Pilate to oversee the execution of Jesus of Nazareth, and to ensure his radical followers don’t steal the body and claim resurrection. Despite the tomb’s protection by Roman guards, the body goes missing. Only by finding the remains of Jesus can they disprove the rumors of a risen Messiah.
"[Clavius has] an irrevocable moment in his life when he walks into a room hoping to arrest these disciples and he comes face to face with somebody who he never would have dreamed he would see again in the flesh."
-Joseph Fiennes
