- Synopsis
- Biography of Martin Luther, the 16th-century priest who led the Christian Reformation and opened up new possibilities in exploration of faith. The film begins with his vow to become a monk, and continues through his struggles to reconcile his desire for sanctification with his increasing abhorrence of the corruption and hypocrisy pervading the Church's hierarchy. He is ultimately charged with heresy and must confront the ruling cardinals and princes, urging them to make the Scriptures available to the common believer and lead the Church toward faith through justice and righteousness.

- Critics' reviews
-
-
"An entertaining history lesson. That is, a history lesson that synopsizes and simplifies a complex life and complicated times"
-
"Aside from a couple of unintelligible conversations with himself, there's barely any God here"
-
"An unholy mess"
-
"It's just unfortunate that a movie about such a daring man ultimately takes few risks."
-
"Proceeds like a stultifying history pageant rather than a movie with a pulse of its own"
