I am 67 years old as I write this, and I have been a follower of Jesus since I was 11 years old. I have a Master of Divinity seminary degree (1983), and was in full-time church ministry for 20 years. It is with this prelude that I highly unequivocally recommend this wonderful portrayal.
As my headline states, the script is absolutely biblically accurate, not infused with the usual Hollywood fiction or extra-curricular items. Anthony Hopkins as Paul and Robert Foxworth as Peter are particularly outstanding in this unbelievably well-made TV movie from 1981. The costuming, scenery, and other characters are all well done.
Amazingly, this is my first time seeing this movie, but I'm sure it's one that I'll go back and watch more than once. It's an entirely enjoyable movie, and it's message is too important to overlook.
