“Son of God” brings the story of Jesus’ life to audiences through
compelling cinematic storytelling. It is told with the scope and scale of an
action epic and features powerful performances, exotic locales, dazzling visual
effects, and a rich orchestral score. Some Christian leaders are already saying
they plan to rent out every screen in numerous cities for the film’s
long-awaited premiere.
You won’t want to miss this behind-the-scenes look at the first
major release on the life of Jesus in a decade!
