Amoeba Music

Based on Chaim Potok's best-selling novel, The Chosen follows the story of two teenage boys determined to remain friends despite the deep differences between their two families. Set in New York during the 1940's, this provocative film stars Robby Benson as Danny Saunders, the son of an ultra-orthodox rabbi (Rod Steiger), and Barry Miller as Reuven, the son of a secular father (Maximilian Schell), raised to question everything around him, including his own religion. A moving coming-of-age story, The Chosen is a film that will grip you from beginning to end.
