A new cinematic retelling of one of the most sacred moments in Christian history is set to reach cinemas this Easter. The Last Supper arrives in time for Lent, offering audiences a reverent and emotionally charged portrayal of the night before the crucifixion.
Jamie Ward - The Last Supper
Set in Jerusalem, the film centres on the final meal shared between Jesus and his twelve disciples. Bread is broken. Wine is passed. Yet beneath the familiar ritual lies a gathering heavy with unspoken tension. Words of devotion sit alongside warnings. Faith wavers in quiet corners of the room. And as the hours slip away, one disciple moves steadily towards a choice that will alter history forever.
Robert Knepper, Charlie MacGechan and James Oliver Wheatley - The Last Supper
Rather than presenting the event as distant or untouchable, The Last Supper leans into the humanity of those present. Love, fear, loyalty and doubt all surface during these final hours. The story unfolds with an intimacy that highlights the personal cost behind a moment that would resonate through centuries of Christian tradition.

Presented by Dazzler Media, The Last Supper will open in cinemas across the UK and Ireland from 20th March, inviting audiences to experience this pivotal biblical moment on the big screen.
