Viewers are left with hope that miracles can happen. The film also shows that seemingly insignificant actions alter lives forever. Behavior does have consequences. Father and son feel responsible for the ripple effect they have created, and they risk their lives to save others. With a soft spot for second chances, the film recognizes the value of healthy two-parent homes.
Films are neither Christian nor non-Christian.
But ideas are. The concepts at the heart of this movie definitely are Christian. Fathers are important, and this film echoes Christianity's view of God as the loving father. With millions of children growing up in homes without their fathers, or in families where fathers are emotionally absent, here is a film that makes you believe dads can become the true heroes of the coming generation. Fathers can leave an indelible mark on their children and society.
