Emperor Tiberius sends Roman explorer Taurus (David Carradine) to the Holy Land to find the missing body of a rebel, Jesus of Nazareth, crucified three years earlier. Rumor has it that Jesus rose from the dead. The arrival of the Imperial
inquisitor alerts the local authorities and especially the Roman governor; Pontius Pilate. His wife Claudia is also plagued by a deep sense of malaise, and Taurus realizes that she is plagued by memories of the Nazarite. For a down-to-earth Roman
like Taurus it is clear; Jesus is an impostor who must be exposed, but his investigation yields the same answer again and again: The body has not been found.
What is the truth about this disappearance?
