Synopsis
Son of God (2014) is a biblical drama you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Christopher Spencer, with Diogo Morgado as Jesus and Roma Downey — who also produced — as the Virgin Mary. The film was cut from the History Channel miniseries The Bible and expanded into a standalone theatrical release covering the full arc from the Nativity through the Resurrection.
The story is set in Roman-occupied Judea, where high priest Caiaphas walks a permanent tightrope between his own people and governor Pontius Pilate. When Jesus enters Jerusalem, healing the sick and drawing crowds with a message of love and hope, the authorities read it as the start of a rebellion. Both the Roman and Jewish establishments decide he cannot be allowed to continue.
Morgado's portrayal is calm and humane rather than otherworldly, which gives the film a grounded quality that fans of the original miniseries will recognise. It is aimed squarely at viewers who want the gospel story told plainly and cinematically, without detours into theology. Watch Son of God online on iFILM.
