Where to Watch the Left Behind Movies

The first Left Behind movie came out in 2000 and rapidly turned the highly-successful book series into a popular movie franchise that developed a dedicated cult following, spurring 4 sequels (including 2 reboots) and even a set of video games. For people watching these movies for the first time, Kirk Cameron’s charming personality, paired with the bizarre imagery and dystopian setting for the films resulted in a mixture that resulted in a very unique and new style of post apocalyptic films.

1. Left Behind: The Movie

The first movie to start off this franchise released in theaters on February 2, 2001, and it was instantly unlike anything audiences had ever seen before. To explain the instant success of these films, it is important to realize what faith-based audiences were used to up to this point. The big budget blockbusters of the past (think Ben Hur or The Ten Commandments) were long gone and a thing of the past. For anyone who wanted to find film and entertainment that reflected their Christian faith, there were very few options, and the options that did exist were often low-budget, unenjoyable, and difficult to sit through. When audiences, Christian and non-Christian alike, sat down to watch Left Behind, they were pleasantly surprised to discover that this was a movie that was filled with action, good acting, and an enjoyable storyline - at least in comparison to what they were used to.

Similarly to the books, the movie follows the events outlined in the Book of Revelation, depicting endtime prophecy launching with the rapture, during which millions of people suddenly vanish and go missing from the face of the planet. The world rapidly descends into chaos, and a new figurehead known as Nicolae Carpathia rises to power, offering order and peace in this new void. For those who are left behind (hence the franchise name), they have to grapple with this new reality and decide what they believe about what just happened. Was it an alien abduction? Or did God actually rapture his church? And if so, the uncomfortable truth is that they are stuck on earth, about to endure through one of the most difficult periods of human history. Yet through all of this, a remnant of individuals band together, some of whom were already passive Christians in the past, to renew their walk with Christ and endure to the end.

For those of you who have not seen this film yet, there are numerous memorable moments. For me personally, I find one of the ending scenes to be the most compelling in the franchise. In this scene, there is a showdown between Carpathia and numerous world leaders. As the former is still rising in power, the world leaders challenge his growing authority, and he results to a very dramatic humbling of them, revealing that any who are not walking with Christ are powerless against the growing antichrist. If only to see, this scene, make sure to check out this movie!
