The epic tale is racing toward Blu-ray in December.

In an early announcement to retailers, Paramount is preparing 'Ben-Hur (2016)' for Blu-ray on December 13.

BEN-HUR is the epic story of Judah Ben-Hur (Jack Huston), a prince falsely accused of treason by his adopted brother Messala (Toby Kebbell), an officer in the Roman army.

After years at sea, Judah returns to his homeland to seek revenge, but finds redemption. Based on Lew Wallace’s timeless novel, Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ.
