Samson and Delilah trailer

Samson is the strongest Israelite in the tribe of Dan. Even though the Israelites are slaves of the Philistines, he falls in love with Semadar, a Philistine. Yet Semadar misleads him and Samson is led to fight against her true love, Ahtur and his men. Semadar ends up being killed and her sister Delilah now seeks revenge against Samson even though she was in love with him. Her plan is to make him believe she is interested in him, in order for him to expose how he gets his strength.
