What happens

Left Behind is a 2014 American Christian apocalyptic thriller film directed by Vic Armstrong and written by Paul LaLonde and John Patus. Based on the 1995 novel of the same name written by Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins, the film stars Nicolas Cage, Chad Michael Murray, Cassi Thomson, Nicky Whelan, Jordin Sparks, and Lea Thompson. It is the second film adaptation of the first novel in the Left Behind series. It depicts the worldwide disaster of the Christian Rapture from the perspective of one family: a husband (airline pilot Rayford Steele) and wife facing marital difficulties, as well as their two children. The plot was altered to mostly take place on an airplane and the Antichrist does not appear. Left Behind was released in theaters on October 3, 2014, by Freestyle Releasing. It was panned by critics and grossed $27.4 million worldwide against its $16 million production budget. A sequel featuring a new cast, titled Left Behind: Rise of the Antichrist, was released in 2023. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
