Epic Proportions

By Larry Coen and David Crane

Gone With the Wind, Ben-Hur, The Ten Commandments ... these masterpieces have nothing on Exeunt Omnes, a huge epic film being shot in the Arizona desert in the 1930s. Brothers Benny and Phil are two of the 3,400 extras, both of whom fall in love with Louise, the assistant director in charge of extras. Throw in ten plagues, gladiator battles, and a misfiring burning bush, and suddenly Phil is directing the movie, now starring Benny and Louise.
