Unfortunately the website doesn't automatically apply the discount please email to apply.Biography of Martin Luther, the 16th-century priest who led the Christian Reformation and opened up new possibilities in exploration of faith. The film begins with his vow to become a monk, and continues through his struggles to reconcile his desire for sanctification with his increasing abhorrence of the corruption and hypocrisy pervading the Church's hierarchy. He is ultimately charged with heresy and must confront the ruling cardinals and princes, urging them to make the Scriptures available to the common believer and lead the Church toward faith through justice and righteousness.
In 16th Century Germany, Martin Luther abandons his law studies to become an Augustinian priest and theologian, under the mentorship of Fr Johnann Von Staupitz. He becomes diillusioned by the established practice of Catholic hierachy selling so-called sacred relics indulgences - promise of God's forgiveness and time off their purgatory - for cash to the poor. He nails his 95 point thesis to the cathedral door in Wittenberg, which is seen as a heretical act and a challenge to Rome's Papal authority. When he refuses to recant, he is excommunicated and Germany explodes in religious violence.
In the tradition of great religious and historical epics such as Braveheart and Passion of the Christ, Luther stars Joseph Fiennes as Martin Luther (Shakespeare in Love), Alfred Molina (Chocolat), Jonathan Firth (Pompeii: The Last Day), Bruno Ganz (Wings of Desire) and two time Academy Award winner, Sir Peter Ustinov (Spartacus).
