Brian is born one stable away from Jesus. As an adult, he falls in love with Judith, who is a member of the People's Front of Judea. Brian joins the rebel organization, and after a failed attempt against Pontius Pilatus, he barely escapes the clutches of the Roman leader. In an attempt to hide from the Roman legionaries who chase him, he pretends to be one of the many prophets who speak on the street, but for some reason he attracts an audience who follows him everywhere. Brian is eventually captured by the Romans and sentenced to be crucified. As is the tradition, Pilatus asks the crowd which one of the condemned men should be released, and Brian's name is called. Alas, due to a misunderstanding, another man is released, and all of Brian's friends acknowledge that his martyr will be a great help to the People's cause, and leave him to die.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail

From Wikipedia:

King Arthur is recruiting his Knights of the Round Table throughout England. He is frustrated at every turn by anarcho-syndicalist peasants, a Black Knight that refuses to give up despite losing both his arms and legs, and guards that are more concerned with the flight patterns of swallows than their lord and master. Finally he meets up with Sir Bedevere the Wise, Sir Lancelot the Brave, Sir Galahad the Pure (also called "the Chaste"), Sir Robin the Not-Quite-So-Brave-As-Sir-Lancelot, and "the aptly named Sir Not-Appearing-In-This-Film", and declares them the Knights of the Round Table. They are given a quest by God to find the Holy Grail.

After they split up, Sir Robin encounters a Three-Headed Giant, Galahad runs across the perils of Castle Anthrax, Sir Lancelot massacres a wedding at Swamp Castle, and Arthur and Bedevere encounter the dreaded Knights who say Ni. They each overcome their individual perils and reunite to face a bleak and terrible winter. Surviving the winter by eating Sir Robin's minstrels, they venture further to a pyromaniac enchanter named “Tim”, who takes them to a cave guarded by a killer rabbit.

After killing the vicious Rabbit of Caerbannog with the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch, the knights face The Legendary Black Beast of Aaargh, and cross the Bridge of Death that is guarded by “the old man from Scene 24”. Arthur and Bedevere survive to arrive at Castle Aaargh, and face the French Taunter once more. The film ends abruptly when a group of police from the 1970s interrupt the climactic battle scene to arrest Bedevere and King Arthur for the murder of Frank, the “famous historian”.
