English Summary:

Brian Cohen is born in a stable next door to the one in which Jesus is born, which initially confuses the three wise men who come to praise the future King of the Jews. Brian later grows up an idealistic young man who resents the continuing Roman occupation of Judea. While attending Jesus's Sermon on the Mount, Brian becomes infatuated with an attractive young rebel, Judith. His desire for her and hatred for the Romans lead him to join the "People's Front of Judea", one of many fractious and bickering independence movements who spend more time fighting each other than the Romans.

After several misadventures, and escaping from Pontius Pilate, Brian winds up in a line-up of would-be mystics and prophets who harangue the passing crowd in a plaza. Forced to come up with something plausible in order to blend in and keep the guards off his back, Brian repeats some of what he had heard Jesus say, and quickly attracts a small but intrigued audience. Once the guards have left, Brian tries to put the episode behind him, but he has unintentionally inspired a movement. He grows frantic when he finds that some people have started to follow him around, with even the slightest unusual occurrence being hailed as a miracle. Their responses grow in fervour and intensity, making it harder and harder for him to get away from them, yet because of the mob's excitement over the "miracles" they discover, they ultimately end up completely ignoring Brian himself. Judith is the only one who does not leave; Brian and Judith then spend the night together. In the morning, Brian, completely naked, opens the curtains to discover an enormous crowd, which proclaims him to be the Messiah, outside his mother's house. Brian's mother protests, telling the crowd that "He's not the Messiah; he's a very naughty boy," and, "There's no Messiah in here. There's a mess, all right, but no Messiah." All of her attempts at dispersing the crowd are rebuffed. Furthermore, once Brian addresses them, he also finds that he is unable to change their minds. His followers are completely committed to their belief in Brian's divinity. They immediately seize upon everything he says and does as points of doctrine.

 

Hungarian Summary:

Júdeában vagyunk, ott és akkor, amikor Jézus született. Vele szinte egy időben és egészen a közelében megszületik egy másik gyermek is, Brian. Róla a napkeleti bölcsek tévedésből azt hiszik, hogy ő a megváltó. Brian élete ettől a perctől kezdve tévedések és félreértések sorozata. Júdea ekkoriban forrong: zsidók harcolnak a szabadságért, a rómaiak és egymás ellen is. Brian közelebbi kapcsolatba kerül az egyik elvakult, ám annál ambiciózusabb lázadó csapattal, méghozzá Judith, a szépséges, ám elhivatottan feminista forradalmárlány révén. Brian, hogy rátermettségét bebizonyítsa, Róma ellenes jelszavakat pingál Pilátus palotájának falára. A forradalmi tett végrehajtása közben azonban egy római katona rajtakapja, kijavítja a helyesírási hibákat, és arra kényszeríti, hogy százszor leírja a helyes mondatokat. A forradalmároknak annyira imponál Brian elszántsága, hogy soraikba fogadják és bevonják legközelebbi akciójukba. Az a tervük, hogy elrabolják Pilátus feleségét. Ám ez a nagyszabású plánum egy másik csapatnak is az eszébe jut. A két csoport egymást akadályozva először csak heves szópárbajt vív egymással, majd a csodálkozástól elámult rómaiak szeme láttára végez egymással. Brian az egyedüli túlélő, őt azonban a rómaiak elfogják. Nem ő lenne azonban, ha nem tudna megszökni a fogságból. Innentől kezdve azonban szinte pokol az élete, hívők egyre népesebb csoportja követi minden lépését. Követői meg vannak győződve arról, hogy ő az oly régen várt Messiás. Szinte megváltás, amikor a rómaiak újból elfogják. Ám Pilátus most már arra készül, hogy keresztre feszíti őt...
