After being rescued and adopted by the Queen of Egypt, he grows up in a privileged life in the Egyptian court. However, Moses cannot escape his ultimate destiny. Upon discovering his true heritage, Moses embarks on a mission to lead the Hebrew people out of slavery, which pits him against his brother, Ramses, the new Pharaoh of Egypt.
