I dieci comandamenti (The Ten Commandments) è un film del 1956 diretto da Cecil B. DeMille, remake dell'omonimo film del 1923 dello stesso regista. È un adattamento cinematografico del secondo libro del Pentateuco: il Libro dell'Esodo. È interpretato da Charlton Heston, Yul Brynner, Anne Baxter, Edward G. Robinson, John Derek, Yvonne De Carlo, Vincent Price, Nina Foch e altre celebrità dell'epoca. Il film narra la storia di Mosè, il bambino ebreo salvato dalla madre a seguito di un massacro voluto dal faraone, che, adottato dalla sorella di quest'ultimo, divenne principe d'Egitto e, dopo aver scoperto le sue vere origini, decise di abbandonare la sua vita di lussi e agi e, in seguito, dopo aver affrontato il faraone Ramesse II, suo acerrimo nemico sin dalla gioventù, liberò il suo popolo dalla schiavitù. La trama della pellicola è desunta, oltre che dal libro dell'Esodo, anche dal Midrash, dal Corano e dai testi di Giuseppe Flavio. Il film è stato distribuito nel circuito cinematografico statunitense il 5 ottobre 1956.
