Barabbas, a convicted murderer, was freed by Pilate and was no longer under a death sentence after Jesus took his place. A 1962 film about Barabbas, starring Anthony Quinn in the title role, takes a look at what might have happened to Barabbas thereafter.
During production, there was an actual solar eclipse which the director incorporated into the film.
