The story heightens the tensions between the British, the Arabs and the Jews of Palestine. "Exodus" was shot on location all over the Mediterranean and its cast includes many celebrated actors (Paul Newman, Peter Lawford, Lee J. Cobb, Sal Mineo and Eva Marie Saint). The music by composer Ernest Gold won an Academy Award.
