*”War Room,” the highly-anticipated fifth film from Alex and Stephen Kendrick (Fireproof, Courageous, Facing the Giants, Flywheel) will debut in theaters nationwide on August 28, 2015.
Sony Pictures Entertainment’s TriStar Pictures, distributor of Soul Surfer, Courageous and last Spring’s faith-based sensation Heaven is For Real, will release the film, which is rated PG, perfectly positioning it to entertain families of all ages.
From the award-winning creators of Fireproof and Courageous comes “War Room,” a compelling drama with humor and heart that explores the power that prayer can have on marriages, parenting, careers, friendships, and every other area of our lives.
Tony and Elizabeth Jordan have it all—great jobs, a beautiful daughter, and their dream house. But appearances can be deceiving. Tony and Elizabeth Jordan’s world is actually crumbling under the strain of a failing marriage.
While Tony basks in his professional success and flirts with temptation, Elizabeth resigns herself to increasing bitterness. (L to R) Miss Clara (Karen Abercrombie) celebrates after Elizabeth (Priscilla Shirer) shares how God answered a specific prayer.
