Samson
Samson's strength flows through his hair, a divine gift that becomes his greatest vulnerability. When Delilah's betrayal leaves him shorn and powerless, the Philistines capture and blind him. This 1914 silent drama, directed by J. Farrell MacDonald, adapts the biblical tale of divine power, human weakness, and ultimate redemption through sacrifice. The film explores themes of faith tested, pride punished, and strength redefined in chains.
