Her oprulles verdenshistoriens måske mest udbredte og universelle fortælling, nemlig den om de sidste 12 timer i Jesu liv. Gibson formidler historien med en realisme, emotionel styrke og visuel udtryksfuldhed, der ikke efterlader nogen upåvirket. Filmen følger Jesus i de sidste foruroligende og skæbnetunge timer frem til hans korsfæstelse. Fra timerne efter Den Sidste Nadver, hvor Jesus forrådes af Judas, hvilket leder ham i armene på Romernes, hans deraf følgende pinsler under Pontius Pilatus frem til de allersidste, uafrystelige minutter, hvor dødsdommen eksekveres og Jesus nagles fast til korset.
