Moses’ world shatters when he discovers his true heritage. After accidentally killing an abusive Egyptian taskmaster while defending a slave, he flees into the desert. Exiled and humbled, he finds a new life with the Midianites, marries Tzipporah (Michelle Pfeiffer), and becomes a shepherd. It is here, before a burning bush, that he receives his divine calling from God (voiced by Val Kilmer in a hauntingly gentle tone).
Stephen Schwartz’s score (with Hans Zimmer’s percussive, African-inflected underscore) is the film’s soul.
