Richard Harris argues with God for 3 hours and somehow makes it compelling.
Rather than choosing a great leader or king, God chooses Abraham, an elderly shepherd from Mesopotamia, as the way to establish his Covenant with mankind... A man of great faith, Abraham continues to believe in God even when He seems to have abandoned him.
Acting
Richard Harris makes Abraham's wrinkled anguish viscerally human.
Production
Genuinely impressive desert scale for a '93 TV movie.
Director
Joseph Sargent
