Academy Award-winner Ben Kingsley stars in the Emmy Award-winning JOSEPH (Best Mini-Series), the TNT original four-hour mini-series.

Joseph is the favorite son of Jacob, much to the anger of Jacob's other sons. When Joseph turns seventeen, his father weaves him a brilliantly colored fabric that is sewn into a beautiful coat. His brothers' jealousy and hatred for him continues to grow until the time when Joseph tells them of two dreams he had: how at harvest time his brothers' sheaves of wheat bowed before his sheaf, and how the sun, moon and the stars also bowed before him. His brothers become so enraged and threatened that they attack him and sell him as a slave in Egypt. But when Joseph is able to correctly interpret the Pharaoh's dreams, he is appointed chancellor of the realm and saves Egypt from famine.

Over the years, Joseph becomes a wealthy and respected man, and meets his brothers again when they come to Egypt, the only land where there is enough to eat. They do not recognize him, so he tests them by making them choose as to which brothers' life he will take. Only when he is convinced that they have changed their ways and are truly good men does he reveal himself to them. He forgives them for their past deeds, and invites them and his father, Jacob, to settle with him in Egypt.

JOSEPH is one of twelve mini-series produced under "THE BIBLE" umbrella. It is an international co-production of TNT and LUX, the Italian independent production company; Germany's Beta Taurus; and the Italian Network RAI.
