Jesus is crucified and his enemies throw insults at him. (One woman even anachronistically eats popcorn and smiles with glee at Jesus' crucifixion.) When Jesus does die, however, there is a great earthquake. The tree where Judas had hanged himself, with the rope used to bind Jesus's wrists, is swallowed up amidst bursts of hellfire.
Talebzadeh's biopic shows Judas Iscariot being crucified instead of Jesus. In contrast, the majority of Christians believe Jesus is the Son of God (himself being divine and part of the Godhead) and thus part of the Holy Trinity, and that he died by crucifixion to accomplish humanity's salvation before resurrecting and ascending to heaven.
