Left Behind: The Movie

Left Behind is a 2000 Canadian-American religious science fiction film directed by Vic Sarin and starring Kirk Cameron, Brad Johnson, Gordon Currie, and Clarence Gilyard. The film was based on the best-selling Christian eschatological end-times novel of the same name written by Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins, adapted for the screen by Alan B. McElroy. The film was released first direct-to-video, followed by a limited theatrical release. At the time of its release, the film was promoted by its creators as the "biggest and most ambitious Christian film ever made." The film received generally negative reviews, holding a 16% "Rotten" score on review-aggregation site Rotten Tomatoes. Despite this, the film managed to spawn two additional sequels based on the second novel in the series, Tribulation Force and World at War.
