As a young man, Joseph is a dreamer who is favored by his father
Jacob and resented by his older brothers. After Joseph recounts his dream in which he saw his brothers bowing before him, they become furious and
sell him into slavery. They convince their father that Joseph was killed by wolves. Whilst captive in Egypt, Joseph becomes a trusted servant of
Potiphar, but later experiences
humiliation and imprisonment after Potiphar's wife
falsely claims that he raped her. Years later, whilst Joseph is in prison, Pharaoh becomes pestered by nightmares which none of his advisors can interpret. Joseph interprets the Pharaoh's dreams and suggests that one fifth of each year's harvest should be stored for
rationing. Astonished, the Pharaoh appoints Joseph his
prime minister under the name "
Zaphnath-Paaneah". A few years pass, Joseph marries
Asenath and has two sons,
Manasseh and
Ephraim. One day, Joseph is surprised by his brothers who come to Egypt to buy
grain. Unrecognized by them, Joseph imprisons Simeon, until they can prove their story by bringing their youngest brother, Benjamin, who is later brought. After inviting the brothers to a
feast, Joseph orders that Benjamin shall be punished, but the brothers offer themselves in his place to Joseph's surprise, where they confess to having sold Joseph into slavery. Joseph finally reveals himself to them, and they reconcile. Joseph reunites with his father Jacob. The film concludes with Joseph's bones being carried into
Israel, and the birth of the Messiah,
Jesus. ==Voice cast==
