Overview

Paul was not a disciple of Jesus of Nazareth and is therefore absent in the Jesus movies. He becomes the protagonist (or at least, a very important supporting character) in movies that are based on the Acts of the Apostles or focus on the development of the early Church.

In silent films Paul appears twice as a minor character. Only in 1938 the first movie on Paul appeared. It was followed in 1949-51 by a series of short films.

Since the 1950s, Paul has been present in numerous productions and the protagonist in many of them.
