I found this movie to be a feel good great movie and yes the acting and effects were not the best I still found it engaging and tugged at the heart strings
This movie was not made to win awards or make celebrities, this movie was created to let people know of the miracle that happened on that day 30 years ago and I believe it did just that for me.
There are a few parts that could've been adjusted probably with a larger budget, but if i wanted CG graphics and special effects I would watch something else
The fact that I had never even heard of this real life miraculous story until now makes me rate it even higher.
I would highly recommend this movie to anyone interested, the world could use a little more movies like this.

Like others I had never heard of this incident and after reading about it, the movie does follow the events pretty close.
Some scenes just felt out of place like when the commissioner stopped by the station with his checkbook. That was random.
The development of why the perpetrators did what they did was never really explained.
The ending was a tad too long.

If i watch a movie about basketball... and i do not like basketball... then I complain about the movie having basketball in it. Then I should be considered a retarded IMDb movie critic...
A lot of the reviews here seem to put this movie in a bad light, AKA "Not a good movie". These bad reviews smell A lot like a anti-Christian agenda. Do not allow them to tarnish this film with false and inaccurate reviews.
This movie is based on a true story back in 1986. These people are real people, walking the streets right now. It was not a classroom of Christians, in a Christian school, living in jesusville.
This movie gave me a glimpse of the horror they experienced and their attempt to understand it. Great movie if you LIKE this genre (fireproof, God's not dead, heaven is real).
:) TO GOD BE ALL THE GLORY" :)

Enjoyed watching it and learning about the story of the school hostage crisis. I have not heard about this incident before. The movie is based on the real accounts of people who went through it, and if they say that they saw angels who helped them survive, I believe them. Those who make fun of the first-hand accounts should keep it to themselves. We had a school hostage crisis in Beslan in 2004 and it resulted in tragedy with lots of deaths. I liked what they said at the end of the movie, that there were lots of lepers in Jesus' day and not all of them got healed, but when one gets healed we should learn to recognize the hand of God. Fine movie, recommend!
I honestly can't help but laugh at these negative reviews about this movie. If you don't like the acting, effects, etc., fine, but giving the movie 1 star because you don't like the way the miracles in the movie were shown is stupid. The accounts of angels and miracles are documented by real people who went through this terrible situation. Whether they're true or not is besides the point. Some people on here are saying "Why would God save them and not others," but this is a question unrelated to this movie's quality and presentation. It's like giving God Himself or the kids who told gave these accounts 1 star. The director and actors presented a documented story as told by real people. They didn't take any liberties or choose the way the story ended. If you're not religious, you probably won't appreciate the movie, but don't blame the directors for making "religious propaganda" or relating events that "don't make sense if God is a just god." The events did happen, or at least that's what the children said. Take it up with them if you don't believe it.
Did you know
- TriviaT.C. Christensen required actor Nathan Stevens, who played David Young, not to interact with the children on set until filming. That way their reactions to Young were genuine and real.
- GoofsMost of the kitchen appliances and landmarks featured in the film didn't exist in the 1980s. A lot of them are from the 21st century, such as Dorsey's refrigerator and the buildings.
