God's Not Dead (film)

God's Not Dead is a 2014 American Christian drama film directed by Harold Cronk and starring Kevin Sorbo, Shane Harper, David A. R. White, and Dean Cain. The film was released theatrically on March 21, 2014, by Pure Flix Entertainment.
Written by Cary Solomon and Chuck Konzelman, and based on Rice Broocks' book God's Not Dead: Evidence for God in an Age of Uncertainty, the film follows a Christian college student (Harper) whose faith is challenged by an atheist philosophy professor (Sorbo), who declares God a pre-scientific fiction. It received mostly negative reviews, but grossed over $62 million on a $2 million budget. The film was criticized for using straw man arguments and common stereotypes of atheists, instead of any actual debate.
The film was followed by the 2016 film God's Not Dead 2 and the 2018 film God's Not Dead: A Light in Darkness. A third sequel, God's Not Dead: We The People, was released on October 4, 2021.
