The film follows a father who tells his son the story of Jesus. It transforms what begins as a simple bedtime tale into a profound, life-changing journey. Through the boy’s vivid imagination, he walks alongside Christ. He witnesses Christ’s miracles and endures His trials. The boy ultimately understands the depth of Christ’s sacrifice. The King of Kings seeks to offer audiences a fresh and heartfelt look at the greatest story ever told.
