I maj 1945 forsøger amerikanske soldater at erobre en japansk klippeskrænt. Midt i dette helvede finder man en soldat, der ikke bærer våben. Hans navn er Desmond Doss, en samarit der dedikeret kaster sig ud i krigens rædsler. Ikke for at dræbe men for at redde sårede soldaters liv. Desmond Doss er en kristen mand med særligt fokus på det femte bud (også midt i et slag), og ”Du må ikke slå ihjel” bliver en personlig overbevisning, der står i stærk kontrast til de uhyrlige hændelser på lærredet.

Her oprulles verdenshistoriens måske mest udbredte og universelle fortælling, nemlig den om de sidste 12 timer i Jesu liv. Gibson formidler historien med en realisme, emotionel styrke og visuel udtryksfuldhed, der ikke efterlader nogen upåvirket. Filmen følger Jesus i de sidste foruroligende og skæbnetunge timer frem til hans korsfæstelse. Fra timerne efter Den Sidste Nadver, hvor Jesus forrådes af Judas, hvilket leder ham i armene på Romernes, hans deraf følgende pinsler under Pontius Pilatus frem til de allersidste, uafrystelige minutter, hvor dødsdommen eksekveres og Jesus nagles fast til korset.

Dinah tells us of the world of the red tent, the place where women were sequestered during their cycles of birthing, menses, and illness; of her initiations into the religious and sexual practices of her tribe; of Jacob's courtship with his four wives; of the mystery and wonder of caravans, farmers, shepherds, and slaves; of love and death in the city of Shechem; of her half-brother Joseph's rise in Egypt, and of course her marriage to Shechem and it's bloody consequences.
