The Bible never identifies any Pharaoh by name. However, this movie, and all versions of the story that have followed it, make Rameses II the Pharaoh from whom Moses has to escape. The only evidence supporting this is the claim in Exodus that the Hebrews built the city of Rameses, and that it was named for the Pharaoh. It could have easily been named for the Sun-God, Ra. Some experts believe that the Pharaoh of Exodus was Thutmose III (also spelled Thothmes III), about one or two centuries before Rameses II.
