Based on a true story, Breakthrough is an uplifting movie has been mostly dismissed as another one of those "preachy" Christian films. It will build the faith of believers and give non-believers something to think about.

It's not a spoiler to tell you that the boy survives drowning in an icy pond (the trailer shows you that.) It's a bit tricky, however, because good parents have lost children they loved for thousands of years. When parents watch this movie, they may feel worse or wonder if they had only had enough faith, would their child have lived. While this story needs to be told and celebrated, it's important to know that God has a plan for everyone and His plan may be very different from ours. Having faith isn't about always getting your prayers answered the way you want. Having faith is simply trusting God.
