Brian Cohen is an average young Jewish man but through a series of ridiculous events he gains a reputation as the Messiah. When he's not dodging his followers or being scolded by his shrill mother the hapless Brian has to contend with the pompous Pontius Pilate and acronym-obsessed members of a separatist movement. Rife with Monty Python's signature absurdity the tale finds Brian's life paralleling Biblical lore albeit with many more laughs.
