For a man at the heart of one of history's most important events we know very little about Pontius Pilate. Was he a heartless monster or a humanist baffled by the historical forces swirling around him? Born into violence, surviving Rome's worst defeat in Germany then taking that experience to Judea and an encounter with a mysterious carpenter from Galilee. 'Maxwell Caulfield brings quiet authority and unsettling complexity to the role of Pontius Pilate... part memoir, part thriller...' (Hollywood Times). 'Only one word here for Caulfield: Sublime' (Bennington Banner).
