Pharaoh tried to kill all of the baby boys of the Hebrews, but Yocheved saved her son Moses. She put him in a basket and sent it down the River Nile. Pharaoh's daughter took the basket out of the water and raised Moses as her own son.
As a young man, Moses saw a slavemaster beating a Hebrew. Although he was now a prince of Egypt, Moses knew in his bones that letting the slavemaster do this was very wrong. Moses killed the slavemaster, so Pharaoh sent him far away to die in the desert without food or water.
Many years later, God spoke to Moses from a burning bush. He told Moses to return to Egypt to free his people, the Hebrew slaves.
Moses showed signs that God had sent him, but Pharaoh thought these were simple tricks. Moses then asked Pharaoh to let God's people go, but Pharaoh refused.
God brought Ten Plagues to Egypt, each one worse than the other. He started by turning the waters of the Nile into blood. In the last plague, the firstborn son of each Egyptian family died. Pharaoh finally let the Hebrews go free.
After letting the Hebrews go free, Pharaoh changed his mind. He ordered his army to follow the Hebrews and bring them back to Egypt. God parted the sea, and the people crossed over to the other side. Pharaoh's army chased the Hebrews, but they all died when the water came back.
After many days and nights, Moses came down from the mountain and presented the Ten Commandments. He was very angry because the people had made themselves a new god, a golden calf.
The last part of the movie is wrong (the Bible does not say this). The people were afraid to be close to God, so only Moses climbed up the mountain, but God spoke to all of the Hebrews together, not just to Moses.
