The strongest man in Israel is undone by the one person he trusted with his secret.
Samson is set apart from birth as a Nazirite with supernatural strength, but he's constantly drawn to Philistine women. Delilah, bribed by the Philistine rulers, pressures him relentlessly until he reveals that his strength comes from his uncut hair. She has it shaved while he sleeps, and the Philistines capture, blind, and enslave him. But in his final act, his hair regrown and his strength restored, Samson brings down the Philistine temple — killing more enemies in his death than in his entire life.
