Storyline

In Anna Zielinski’s 2013 faith-based biblical drama The Book of Daniel, produced by Pure Flix, the narrative framed around an elderly Daniel (Lance Henriksen) residing in Cyrus the Great's Persian court recounts his lifelong journey of steadfast faith during the Babylonian captivity. Taken as a young nobleman (Andrew Bongiorno) from Jerusalem after Nebuchadnezzar’s conquest, Daniel and his companions—Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego—refuse to compromise their religious beliefs, opting for a clean diet over royal food and demonstrating superior wisdom. Daniel rises through the political ranks by accurately interpreting Nebuchadnezzar's troubling dreams of a massive composite statue and a fallen tree, earning him authority in the kingdom. As decades pass and rulers change, Daniel witnesses key biblical milestones, including his three friends surviving King Nebuchadnezzar’s fiery furnace, the chilling "writing on the wall" during Belshazzar's feast, and Daniel's own miraculous survival in a den of hungry lions after jealous Persian nobles trick King Darius into outlawing prayer to any god but himself.

Editor's Note

Biggest Strength The film remains remarkably faithful to the biblical source material, functioning as a straightforward, accessible adaptation of the Old Testament text. Lance Henriksen provides a grounded, dignified framing presence as the older Daniel, giving the story an earnest moral anchor that resonates well with audiences looking for an accurate narrative recount. Biggest Weakness Operating on a micro-budget, the production suffers from noticeable technical limitations, including theatrical, low-cost set designs, stiff television-style staging, and glaringly cheap CGI effects—most evident during the fiery furnace and lions' den sequences. The deliberate, dialogue-heavy pace often feels more like a staged church reenactment than a fully realized cinematic historical drama.
