On film only. Believers actually widely identify the pharaoh as having come from the 18th dynasty but good luck finding any agreement on who it is supposed to be.

** Putting aside the fact that the Exodus may or may not be real history and that the ten plagues are a not a feature of Egyptian mythology, the pharaoh of the Exodus (if it did happen) has been widely identified as Ramesses II and the beginning of the movie has Seti I as the pharaoh killed, who is the father of Ramesses II. This makes the first part of the movie take place before the time of the theoretically historical Exodus.
