Monty Pythoni 1979. aasta film on nii religiooni kui ka Hollywoodi piibellikke lugusid salvav anarhiline satiir. Tegevus toimub Juudamaal Issanda aastal 33, kus meeleheiteni viidud roomlased püüavad veidigi korda luua. See on kaose ja muutuste aeg ning puudust ei tule ka messiatest ja järgijatest, kes on valmis neisse uskuma. Sündmuste keskmes on Brian Cohen, mees, kes saab rea absurdete asjaolude tõttu messiaks seda ise soovimata.

Küsimuse alla seatakse kõik alates endistest pidalitõbistest, Pontius Pilatusest ja kauplemise kunstist ja lõpetades revolutsionääride, hullumeelsete prohvetite, religioosse fanatismi, Rooma tsentuuriote ja ristilöömisega.
