David, now an old man, is still king of Israel. Among his sons, the ambitious Adonijah and the clever Solomon. The two young men are fierce rivals, since both are prospective heirs to the throne and only one can be successful. During a hunting expedition, Adonijah challenges his younger brother Solomon to a chariot race. While Solomon, though brave, still retains a modicum of caution, the daredevil Adonijah is eager to win at all costs -- and loses control of his chariot. Solomon takes the seriously injured Adonijah back to Jerusalem. On the way there they meet the attractive Abishag, who despite her youth is versed in the use of healing herbs. She actually succeeds in helping the prince. Adonijah falls in love with Abishag -- but Bathsheba arranges things so that she works for David, hoping that her youth, her beauty and her healing powers will soothe the old king's suffering. Several members of the influential priesthood and also the respected army general Joab, who served David loyally for many years, support Adonijah's claim to the throne-- even though David has still not made any decision with regard to a potential successor. The battle-experienced Joab regards Solomon as an indecisive weakling, under whose leadership the kingdom would soon fall apart. When the prophet Nathan finds out about Adonijah's conspiracy he informs Bathsheba and Solomon, who urge David to take immediate action. And so it comes to pass that preparations to anoint the future king of Israel are made both at the Spring of Enrogel, where Adonijah and his men are encamped, as well as in Jerusalem. The festive procession for Adonijah has already been assembled and the people enticed with delicious delicacies to cheer him on, when the news of Solomon's coronation reaches Enrogel. The people promptly acknowledge the will of King David and stream off to Jerusalem in their hordes to greet Solomon, their future ruler. Adonijah remains behind with a handful of loyal followers. He realizes that he has lost -- for the time being. Humbly he places his life in his brother's hands. Adonijah is forgiven on one condition: that he always remains loyal to his brother Solomon. The great King David is dead, and his son Solomon has succeeded him as the rightful ruler of Israel. Adonijah now has a request to make of Bathsheba: he wants to marry Abishag. Solomon hears about this seemingly innocent wish, and recognizes it as a renewed ploy on behalf of his brother to reclaim the throne -- Adonijah's marriage to the last woman to share King David's bed would strengthen his political position considerably. Solomon knows that he has to act quickly and decisively if he is to secure his own power. He has his brother Adonijah and the latter's closest associate Joab executed. After this radical decision, Solomon withdraws to present sacrifices. In a dream the Lord appears to him and grants him the fulfillment of a wish, whatever it may be. Solomon merely asks for wisdom -- in order to become a good ruler and judge. War with Egypt is looming. To arm his kingdom against the territorial ambitions of its powerful neighbors, Solomon not only introduces several reforms but also decides to marry the daughter of the pharaoh. The Egyptian princess does not remain Solomon's only wife, however: as time goes by the king marries numerous noble women from many different countries for political and economic reasons. In this way he preserves peace for his people, and creates great prosperity. By allowing the women to continue practicing their domestic customs and religious rituals in Jerusalem as well, he comes into regular conflict with the priesthood, who see the foreign religions as endangering Israel's sole covenant with the Lord. The wisdom granted to Solomon by God becomes fully evident when the king sits in judgment. One day two harlots each claim to be mother of the same baby. Solomon's decision seems utterly cruel: he says that the child should be cut in two so that each woman receives half. Solomon can now determine who the real mother is from her reaction: she will not allow her child to be harmed. Solomon hands the child back to its true mother amid cheers of approval. One of the most important tasks handed down to Solomon by his father David is building the great Temple to house the Ark of the Covenant. It has to be larger and more magnificent than all other temples in the world, and Solomon now sets about fulfilling his father's wish. He places Jeroboam in charge of the Israelite workers as chief overseer. Seven years later, the work is completed. The expensive construction materials have been brought from far-off lands, and the people of Israel have paid exceedingly high taxes without complaint in order to finance the construction work. The Ark of the Covenant can now finally be taken to the Temple in a triumphant procession. After so many years of wandering, the Israelites' most sacred possession now has a fixed home of its own. People stream to Jerusalem from across the entire country to celebrate the great day. Abishag, now married, comes too and brings her family. Solomon has decided to mingle among the people in disguise, and he and Abishag are overjoyed when they accidentally meet again after so many years. The Temple makes Jerusalem and its king famous throughout the world. Even the dark-skinned Queen of Sheba sets off with a large retinue to visit the wise and cultivated Solomon and admire his magnificent city. The admiration turns out to be mutual: Solomon, captivated by her beauty, falls deeply in love with her. The two of them have a child, Menelik, but one day the Queen of Sheba decides to leave. She does not want Menelik to be deprived of the regal dignity awaiting him in his home country. Solomon stays behind, with a heavy heart. The king has now achieved everything he set his heart on, but with the passing of the years the wise Solomon gradually becomes a melancholy, skeptical old man who regularly questions his very existence. Material things seem to represent the only reality for him. He also refuses to adopt any kind of steady policy, especially in religious matters. With his foreign wives, Solomon sacrifices to foreign gods, and this incurs the wrath of the priesthood. The loyal Jeroboam appeals to his king's conscience, but to no avail. During one of Solomon's sorties in disguise among his people, a simple farmer reminds him of the first of the Ten Commandments revealed by the Lord to Moses: "You shall have no other gods before me." At another decisive moment, God Himself speaks to Solomon and announces the punishment for his sinfulness: the kingdom will collapse after Solomon's death. The king has grown old and weary. He has lost touch with the people of Israel, who are suffering from heavy taxation and forced labor. Solomon has treated his long-standing companion Jeroboam, to whom he entrusted the administration of the northern tribes, with murderous anger ever since a prophet predicted the division of the kingdom to him. The king no longer has the strength to change things -- he just leaves them as they are. The consequences of this become clear shortly after his death. Solomon's son and successor Rehoboam treats the country's leaders with arrogance, and provokes the division of the kingdom into two parts: the only tribe still loyal to him is that of Judah, while all the others unite under Jeroboam. The prophecy has been fulfilled. The kingdom that Solomon received from his father David, and invested with such might and magnificence, is now divided.
挺一般，节奏巨慢，最后结局也就那样，并没有很惊艳
没那么差了。只是这个政治阴谋到底是什么东东我一直云里雾里...难道是“不重要，没必要搞清楚”的花边么？
异国旅游出车祸，妻子去世丈夫被追杀误打误撞破获绑架案
电影开头好沉闷......
看海报以为就是一般黑帮动作片，结果看片中处处惊喜：引人入胜的希腊自然风光，复古而高饱和的胶片感（华盛顿的肤色也太70年代了吧），情节虽好猜但看主角一路顺着风景逃亡然后再进入城市爬上爬下还是非常的燃。近期看过第二好的影片。
出國就怕意外，更何況是到希臘鄉下的天空之城旅遊竟被綁匪追殺
就刚开始我以为是爱情片，后面突然就变成悬疑片，突然又变成政治片。这。。。。一时不知道说啥。就乱。
挺莫名其妙的一部电影…后期主角仿佛开了挂一般猛 反派一个个宛如智障。
普通人被卷进这种事里真是倒霉，想抢辆摩托车逃命都抢不到。还是把主角设定成退伍老兵、前特工之类的靠谱点，起码能占个爽字，最后单枪匹马把黑帮打手干掉了也显得没那么离谱。
漂亮国码农度个假，还得化身蝙蝠侠，帮别国解决政治悬案~
本以为是个惊悚片，结果是个美国故事片，还是亲爹附体的那种
很精彩的公路逃亡片，有点类似《无处可逃》，男主和女友真是倒霉只是出个车祸就被各种追杀。男主也是各种开挂，胳膊残废还这么牛逼，被抓几次还能逃跑最后还能反杀太牛了。
又白期待了，全程没有啥紧张感，反而被不时出现的希腊语吵得脑子疼，还有希腊语也不给字幕翻译，真影响观感，总结旅游教育片，去小语种的异国他乡请做好万全准备，当地人听不懂英语，独身一人后只能寄希望于大使馆，但若是大使馆里面也有坏人呢，就完球了
飞车意外坠龙潭
太多bug了。我以为肉身跳崖就已经够扯的了，结果还来了个肉身跳楼。男主的血是真的厚。怎么搞都搞不死。
希区柯克式游客意外卷入政治阴谋的老套路了，按着前面《无处可逃》来拍也不至于这么差劲，动作戏和悬疑性都挺无聊的，坎妹戏份这么少放第二合适吗。ps：这片子配乐还是坂本龙一啊
这个开头一度让我以为会出现什么超自然现象，没料到最超自然的却是男主的“运气”和身手……宽泛来看，类型片，或者复古恐怖片（希区柯克？）下的政治讽刺做得还行。
啥玩意啊莫名其妙的剧情，废话好多，随便看看吧
服气，如今解决别的国家政治波动都不用CIA了，随便来一个疲劳驾驶出车祸的美国游客就能解决。
没有最后后备箱小孩子出来，打算给1星的，剧本太烂了吧，难道不是为了黑美国政府而拍的
