There is a very good reason that they did. In the film, during a fierce battle, Ben-Hur saves the life of a Roman officer, played by Jack Hawkins who adopts him as a son and he returns to his life of nobility and continues his search for his mother and sister. In the time after his re-birth, Ben-Hur meets an Arab sheik (Hugh Griffith) with a magnificent stable of four Arabian white horse that will compete in the annual chariot race which Messala has won consecutively for the past four years.

My brother tells me that a stuntman was killed during the filming of the chariot race in 'Ben Hur' and that the footage of the crash was used in the film. Is that true? Who directed the film 'Ben Hur'? What is the collective name for race horses? What are the four horses of the apocolypse?
