Based on the Joyce Smith novel “The Impossible: The Miraculous Story of a Mother’s Faith and Her Child’s Resurrection,” based on the true story. When Joyce Smith’s fourteen-year-old son John fell through an icy Missouri lake one winter morning, she and her family had seemingly lost everything. At the hospital, John lay lifeless for more than sixty minutes. But Joyce was not ready to give up on her son. She mustered all her faith and strength into one force and cried out to God in a loud voice to save him. Miraculously, her son’s heart immediately started beating again. In the coming days, John would defy every expert, every case history, and every scientific prediction. Sixteen days after falling through the ice and being clinically dead for an hour, he walked out of the hospital under his own power, completely healed.
Usually these religious/spiritual movies are a total joke to me. Like they are usually so blatant and forced that I pull the plug less than halfway through. But there was something about this one. It kept my interest straight through and found a lot of spiritually dead parts of me getting triggered a bit as I got caught up in the story. That was pretty impressive.
I never thought I would say this but I would actually recommend people checking this bad boy out. It's actually a very enjoyable and pretty realistic story - especially with the interactions between all the characters and what not.
