The name Ben-Hur is mentioned in 1 Kings 4:7. However, the basis for the movie Ben-Hur is a fictional book written by Lew Wallace, a Civil War General. The writer said he thinks something like this could have happened during those times, which is why he wrote it. No proof has been found that the story of Ben-Hur is real. Equally, there is none that it isn't. We can only believe the story is fictional until firm evidence that it is real.
