Exodus (1960)

This week on the OETA Movie Club Podcast we discuss Exodus! Based on Leon Uris' novel, this historical epic provides a backstory to the creation of the state of Israel in 1948 after World War II. Ari Ben Canaan (Paul Newman), a passionate member of the Jewish paramilitary group Haganah, attempts to take 600 Jewish refugees on a dangerous voyage from Cyprus to Palestine on a ship named the Exodus.
