Based on the 1970 rock opera by lyricist Tim Rice and music composer Andrew Lloyd Webber, the film centers on the conflict between Jesus and Judas during the week of the crucifixion. Filming took place at more than 20 locations in four Israel camp bases and was the highest-grossing musical in the United States and Canada for the year. It was nominated for three Academy Awards for its score cinematography, and costume design. — Jay Duncan
