Wiki.
Legend of Destruction (Hebrew: אגדת חורבן, romanized: Agadat Khurban) is a 2021 animated historical drama film, directed by director Gidi Dar, who wrote the screenplay in collaboration with Shuli Rand. It is an interpretation of Talmudic stories of the destruction of Jerusalem and the Second Temple.
In 2023, a new English version was finalized, after it was recorded in the US, with voice acting by Oscar Isaac, Elliott Gould, Evangeline Lilly, Billy Zane and Marilu Henner, amongst others.
June 4th, 2024, is the date of the world premiere of the film at the Israel Film Center Festival in Manhattan, New York City.
The plot is a historical epic, described through the perspective of six historical figures in Roman-controlled Judaea during the late Second Temple period, and is based on historical sources such as the Talmud and Josephus' The Jewish War, which tells the story of the Great Jewish Revolt against the Roman Empire. At the same time, Jewish society was torn apart by a bloody civil war that culminated in the destruction of Jerusalem and the Second Temple.
The Hebrew version of the film was released on 15 July 2021 in Israeli cinemas. It received 7 nominations for the Ophir Awards, and 4 wins for best editing, art direction, music and sound. The film was aired on Kan 11 on February 20, 2022.
Actors Shuli Rand, Ze'ev Revach, Amos Tamam, Moni Moshonov, Yael Abukasis and Yigal Naor voice the lead roles in the Hebrew.
