Movies that feel likeExodus: Gods and Kings (2014)

The defiant leader Moses rises up against the Egyptian Pharaoh Ramses, setting 400,000 slaves on a monumental journey of escape from Egypt and its terrifying cycle of deadly plagues.

If you loved Exodus: Gods and Kings, the closest films we have are Gladiator II (2024), The Death of Robin Hood (2026) and Ip Man 4: The Finale (2019). All three share Exodus: Gods and Kings' epic and contemplative feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is The Grandmaster (2013).
