Left Behind (2014) - 001

Jeff, Dylan, and Adam take an in-depth look at 2014 disaster (or maybe more appropriately: a disaster of a film?) film Left Behind starring Nicolas Cage. This film is loosely based on the book of the same name and portrays what would happen in a world where Nic Cage is a pilot and experiences the rapture.  The Divine Cinema co-hosts talk about all the ins and outs of the film and try to figure out what is missing from it; besides all the people that got raptured that is.

LEFT BEHIND (2014) PLOT SUMMARY

Ray Steele (Nic Cage) is an airplane pilot who is struggling to deal with his wife’s recent conversion and seeming obsession with Christianity and end-time prophecies. While he’s mid-flight a number of passengers (including all the children) suddenly disappear. The flight crew and the passengers who are “left behind” try to make sense of what has happened and deal with new dangers that arise from the world-wide disappearances. Meanwhile, Ray’s daughter, Chloe, home from college to visit the family, deals with the chaos on the ground as hundreds vanish, including her own little brother. Near-misses and confusion abound, in more ways than one.
