这部电影基于安德鲁·劳埃德·韦伯和蒂姆·赖斯创作的概念专辑项目，以及随后在百老汇的长期演出，通过以色加略人犹大的烦恼之眼讲述了耶稣基督生命中最后6天的故事。这部电影常常被错误地称为音乐剧，其实它是一部“摇滚歌剧，”没有台词，一切都在歌唱。
在海外漂泊多年的Flynn Carson（Noah Wyle扮演）回到了纽约大都会图书馆，他打算重拾往日的工作，好好安顿下来。不过，一个怪梦让他的想法落了空，他被引到了新奥尔良。在那里，他卷入了臭名昭著的吸血鬼王子Vlad Dracul的巨大阴谋。Flynn必须像以前一样，战胜自己的恐惧，保护极具传奇色彩的神器－－《最后的晚餐》中的圣杯。Jonathan Frakes将继续扮演Judson，昔日的图书馆员，如今已成为馆长。当过海军陆战队士兵的Judson在格斗方面是个好手。Jane Curtin也将沿袭自己在上一部影片中的角色－－Charlene－－古板、认真、刻薄、没有任何个人感情的人事主管。《Heroes》中的女演员Stana Katic担任第三部的女主角。她的最新电影角色名叫Simone Renoir，是新奥尔良一家爵士乐俱乐部的歌手，她那催眠般的表演，很快就让花心的Flynn飘飘欲仙。事实上，她的秘密身份是圣杯的保护者，她将不惜一切代价阻止别人得到圣杯的下落。此外，她还有另一重身份－－400年前，吸血鬼王子Vlad Dracula将她变成了吸血鬼（唉，又是吸血鬼），她一直在苦苦寻找这个偷走她灵魂、让她只能行走在黑夜中的恶魔。Flynn当然愿意帮助她……一段爱恨交加的旅程开始了...
Was Judas Iscariot, the apostle whose kiss sentenced Jesus Christ to the crucifix, a patriot who argued with Jesus or a pawn of the Roman occupiers? The story of the Passion from a different angle, with Judas doing what he believed was best for his people.
Pilate and the Roman legate Veturius look on worriedly as Jesus is celebrated as the new messiah in Jerusalem, fearing an uprising. Veturius decides to have Jesus arrested as soon as a suitable opportunity presents itself. Judas is delighted by the reception Jesus is receiving, and quickly wants to win over the influential merchants to the cause which would make him the king and the liberator of the Jews.
A man ascends a barren summit. It is Judas, come to collect Jesus and carry him down the mountain on his back, joking and panting as he does so. After bathing in the river and taking part in a henna ceremony, Jesus leaves for Jerusalem. Judas is concerned for his friend’s safety, since the Roman occupiers look upon the prophet as an insurgent.
Two opposing gangs. Two individuals from either side of the dispute. In Judas, watch as they come together and share a moment during a seemingly innocent game of basketball.
