Cokeville Miracle Motion Picture Review

On May 16th 1986 a mentally crazed man, with enough explosives to completely destroy the building and kill all of the people inside, occupied an elementary school in Cokeville, Wyoming. He held all of the 154 people in the school hostage and threatened to blow up the school if he did not receive a two million dollar ransom for each of the 136 children.

What happened in the school was beyond belief for everyone, from believers to atheists. Prayers were answered. When the bomb went off, every one of the 154 hostages were able to escape by following directions from what we would call “guardian angels”; deceased relatives who came to them. The children said it was angels that saved them. The only people to die in the explosion were the bomber and his wife.

This TRUE story was confirmed by dozens and dozens of witnesses who were actually in the school when it was blown up. The Cokeville Miracle is as intense as any film. You will be on the edge of your seat throughout this unforgettable motion picture. Even the details portrayed actually happened. There was no screenplay. The director told me he just filmed the story as it was given to him by those who were in the school.

Acting in the film is superb. One memorable performance was a teacher who volunteered with the captor to give her life for the children. It was a conversion experience for an unbelieving man whose story is told in the film.

Evidence in the film for life beyond the grave is unquestionable because there were so many witnesses, because of how the people were saved, and because it is true from beginning to end. Seeing the film will be a faith promoting experience for people of all Christian faiths, and non-Christian faiths as well. It could also be a conversion experience for skeptics and non-believers.

I loved this movie. I was afraid that it would be hard for me to watch the little children be threatened. It ripped my heart out but it was very tastefully done. I cried, a lot, but I also laughed, and most of all I was inspired.

I have seen this movie several times in theaters and love it more each time. Never before have I been to a movie where the entire audience sits reverently through the entire credits. The message and feeling from this film is that strong. Everyone should see this film! It is such a powerful and inspiring true story! The cinematography and special effects are awesome. The acting is on point – Nathan Stevens gives a great performance as the mad man David Young and even the child actors did a great job. T.C. Christensen did an amazing job of telling this story; it’s his best film yet. After having researched more on the subject, I’ve found that the movie is incredibly accurate. It’s cool to see a small independent film do such an amazing job creating something meaningful and powerful. Each time I’ve seen it, I can’t stop thinking about it.

I just came from a local showing of The Cokeville Miracle, and wanted to recommend it. It was a touching film for people of any faith. Yes, there was a bit of preaching, especially towards the end (thus the missing stars), but otherwise it was a well-done, suspenseful film. And yes, even though I knew the outcome of the actual event, I cried a couple of times. If the preaching bit had been omitted, it would have been a four star for sure. Excellent for families, but too scary for younger kids.
