Based on the best-selling book Eli, this film is a modern day retelling of the Gospel as if it happened today instead of 2,000 years ago. From his birth in the back of a motel laundry room to his road trip with unlikely followers, to his lynching in the Bible belt and resurrection from an Atlanta morgue, the story strips away all religious varnish of who Jesus Christ really was and puts him in front of us as the same powerful and thought-provoking person he was the first time he came.
