Buddha

The film follows Siddartha, an Indian prince who abandons his luxurious life to wander and meditate for six years. His journey leads him to challenge the old religion, which includes practices like human sacrifices, while he is tempted by various distractions including erotic dancers and the schemes of his cousin.

A pivotal moment occurs when he saves a local priest from being crushed by an elephant, showcasing his compassion and leadership. Ultimately, Siddartha's journey leads him to become one of the great religious leaders of the world, known as Buddha.
