Exodus is a historical novel by Leon Uris regarding the founding of the State of Israel beginning in post-World War II. The movie EXODUS is a retelling of of the 1947 IMMIGRATION SHIP EXODUS and the main characters relationship to the birth of the new Jewish state.
1st Part: The movie begins on a ship filled with Jewish immigrants bound for Israel then were off-loaded in Cyprus. An Intelligence officer succeeds in getting them back on board their ship only then to have the harbor blocked by the British forces preventing them from entering Palestine.
2nd Part: The second part of the film is about the situation in Israel as independence is declared and most of their neighbors attack them.
Two typewritten Russian translations were circulated as samizdat – illegal, hand-copied works that were passed secretly from hand to hand – and the story was retold orally in the prison camps, with the oral version eventually being written in a notebook which was passed from one generation of prisoners to the next.[
*'Refusenik' precise meaning: those denied exit from the Soviet Union. In 1992, Mikhail Gorbachev referred to himself as the first political "refusenik of Russia": 1. Buildings of the Gorbachev Foundation were taken by the Russian government 2. The country's high court requested that Gorbachev would be forbidden from leaving the country. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leon_Uris

I had a best friend, now dead of course, who was there for all that, as a British Commando who became an artist after mustering out.
Who knew Paul Newman would be involved with killing JFK?
Read the book. The movie is overlong and tries to fit too much in. Should have been broken into a couple of flicks, or even a miniseries. Maybe FX will redo it a la SHOGUN? In today’s political climate I doubt it.
The book was great. The movie-Paul Newman as Ari Ben Canin looked too small in stature to play the role. Sal Mineo as Dov Landau was ok. The story within the story was the love story between Dov and his girl friend. Character development.

I just watched it a few weeks ago. Have not seen it in years. The book was incredible and so was the film.
A short video explaining Ben Gurion’s attempt to kill his Jewish rivals. A prototype for far-Leftists eliminating dissenters.

EXODUS-—
Literally watched this DVD 4 days ago.
1960’s movie with Paul Newman.
An excellent movie.
It was such a well done film. It was very informative, too
John Derek is not one of my favorite actors, but he had an excellent part and did a reall stand out job with that character!
Sal Mineo was great in this
I ordered from EBay.
My husband & I watched last night.
I was left in tears.
Both of us said we had learned little about WWII & nothing about this EXODUS of Jewish refugees.
I think WWII was too difficult to share with children. I wish these elitist University stdent would be required to have a very complete World History requirement.
“Those who do not learn from the experience of history are doomed to repeat it.’
My Bing site listed Paul Newman’s movies and left out Exodus.
Come to think about it, I don’t think I watched any other Paul Newman movies! Just Exodus
