[[File:The-Ten-Commandments-1956-Paramount.jpg|thumb|right|Movie poster of ''The Ten Commandments'']]
 
The Exodus has been the subject of many [[motion picture]] and [[television]] projects over the last fifty years, notably including ''The Ten Commandments'', ''Prince of Egypt'' and ''Exodus: Gods and Kings''. Most of these projects contain extra-Biblical interpolations for which no Scriptural warrant and very little archaeological warrant exists. For example, Scripture clearly says that when Moses killed the Egyptian taskmaster, he did so in secret and did not want that fact known—because he was not prepared to face the consequences. (Not every deed of a recognized hero and leader of the Hebrew people was a good or wise deed.) The various motion-picture projects that have treated this story have shown Moses behaving negligently or even recklessly in the killing of the Egyptian, and left out entirely the context in which Moses found out that his deed was no longer secret.
