The action takes place in Ancient Rome, Capri and Judaea in 32 AD.
Marcellus Gallio (Richard Burton) is a Roman military tribune who antagonizes Caligula (Jay Robinson), nephew and heir to the emperor Tiberius (Ernest Thesiger), and his rival for the love of Diana (Jean Simmons), by buying the defiant Greek slave Demetrius (Victor Mature) on whom Caligula had set his sights. To punish him, Caligula arranges the transfer of Marcellus to the garrison of Jerusalem. Before Marcellus’ ship sails, Diana comes to pledge her love and states that she will intercede on his behalf with Tiberius. Much to his surprise, Marcellus returns her feelings and asks her to wait for him.
Marcellus arrives in Jerusalem, and Demetrius notices Jesus entering the city and feels an urge to follow him. Marcellus serves under the governor Pontius Pilate (Richard Boone), who is troubled and haunted by a recent legal case. Marcellus' is informed by Pilate that he will return to Italy-to Capri. Before he leaves however Marcellus will command the crucifixion of Jesus. He wins Christ's robe at dice and takes it with him. A rainstorm begins and Marcellus orders Demetrius to cover him with the robe but, as soon as the cloth touches him, Marcellus cries in agony that it is burning him. Taking back the robe, Demetrius calls Marcellus a murderer and curses him, then runs away.
Marcellus is haunted by nightmares and mental instability that arise from that event. He returns to Italy and visits the aging Emperor Tiberius in Capri and tells him of his ordeal. Tiberius concludes that the teachings of this mysterious Jesus pose a threat to Roman supremacy, and his soothsayer Dodinius (Francis Pierlot) theorizes that Marcellus has been bewitched by the robe, and that only by destroying it will he be freed. Moved by his affection for Diana, Tiberius gives Marcellus an imperial commission to find and destroy the robe and to discover everyone who became followers of Jesus.
Marcellus returns to Galilee disguised as a merchant and searches for Demetrius and the robe. In the village of Cana, he finds followers of Jesus and meets Justus, a local leader. Trying to gain Justus' trust Marcellus gives a donkey to his grandson. Invited by Justus for dinner he learns more of the surprising ways of the followers of Jesus. On the next day Marcellus is stunned as the little boy gave the donkey to a crippled friend. Eventually he finds out that a certain Simon is bound to arrive. This Simon was re-named Peter aka "the Big Fisherman" by Jesus and now travels in the company of a Greek. Guessing that this Greek is none other than Demetrius, Marcellus finds him and the robe but is unable to destroy it.
At a later gathering of the villagers Justus proclaims that while all other had renounced Jesus Peter was with him till the end. Suddenly Justus is killed by a Roman archer as a detachment of Roman soldiers enters the village and begins to slaughter the villagers.
Marcellus orders them to stand down, but the commanding centurion Paulus (Jeff Morrow), a former acquaintance, refuses. Tiberius has died and Caligula is the new emperor. Marcellus argues that his imperial commission has to be obeyed until personally revoked, and challenges the centurion to single combat. He wins and spares the centurions life, and with grudging respect Paulus removes his troops from the village.
Later Peter speaks with Marcellus and invites him to join their cause. Marcellus refuses at first. Peter asks Marcellus if there is anything he wants to tell him. Peter even reveals his three-time denial of Christ. Marcellus tells Peter of his role in the crucifixion. Peter tells Marcellus that he already knows. Demetrius had told him. Furthermore, Peter tells Marcellus that Jesus forgave him from the cross and he can do no less. Marcellus becomes a Christian himself, subsequently travelling throughout the Mediterranean provinces with Peter and Demetrius, and eventually to Rome itself. .....
