Paul Newman stars as an Israeli resistance fighter, a member of the Hagannah, involved in the effort to bring a group of 600 European Jews from British-blockaded Cyprus into newly partitioned Palestine, right before the United Nations is to vote on making it a Jewish homeland. This classic war epic from director Otto Preminger enjoyed nominations for Best Supporting Actor and Best (Color) Cinematography at the 1961 Academy Awards, and won for best Musical Score. [More]

In the end, one should take from this picture a shaken feeling of having been through a lot of harsh and ennobling experiences.

The style of filmmaking is simply too polite and serene to carry the edgy, dangerous material of Uris's novel

Intelligence applied exactly where it is most rare: in the lavish, star-studded epic.

Preminger's ambitious chronicle of the formation of the State of Israel contains some stirring moments, but as an epic it's too sprawling, overlong, and lacks dramatic center, veering uneasily between plot and characterization.

Watchable mainly for the sheer skill and drive of Preminger's direction, although at 220 minutes even that long outstays its welcome.

Propaganda masquerading as drama, it makes for a decidedly turgid viewing experience.
