BREAKTHROUGH was the #3 film at the box office it’s opening weekend, eventually drawing more than $50MM worldwide, and continuing the trend of successful stories of faith being told on the big screen. With an A Cinemascore (one of the top nine films scored by audiences this year), Joyce Smith’s story of faith resonated with families everywhere.
“BREAKTHROUGH’s home entertainment release gives us an opportunity to showcase some of the incredible footage grabbed on set that we couldn’t include in the theatrical experience,” said DeVon Franklin, Producer of BREAKTHROUGH and well-known to faith audiences for theatrical hits including MIRACLES FROM HEAVEN and THE STAR. “We included deleted scenes and bonus features with never-before-seen footage with cast and crew shot during the film’s production.”
Check out the official movie trailer below!
When Joyce Smith’s (Chrissy Metz) adopted son John (Marcel Ruiz) falls through an icy Missouri lake, all hope seems lost as John lies lifeless. In the face of every bleak medical case history and dire scientific prediction, Joyce’s unwavering belief inspires her community to pray for John’s recovery. Based on the incredible true story, BREAKTHROUGH is an enthralling reminder that faith and love can create a mountain of hope, and sometimes even a miracle.
We sat down to watch BREAKTHROUGH a few days ago. It’s a well-written, true story that will tug on your heartstrings. It’s perfect for family movie night if you’re a family with teenagers and older children. Perfect for date night too. The story is well-written and all of the actors do a nice job at pulling you into the story line. It’s entertaining from start to finish. We enjoyed the movie and watched it twice in 3 days! Definitely one that you’ll want to add to your movie library.
Per our movie rating scale we give this flick 8 1/2 out of 10 popcorn buckets. We’ve always enjoyed true stories and this one is one of the best we’ve seen in years. Awarded the Dove Seal of Approval for All Ages, BREAKTHROUGH’s message of hope and community will inspire the whole family.

I too want to see this movie. I have heard only good things about it. i am sure that it would enthrall me with its true to life accounts.
I want to see this! It sounds like a wonderful and inspiring movie that would also be a tear jerker.
I’ve seen the trailers for this movie and it looks good. I think you’d need a whole box of Kleenex, though.
I don’t know where I have been that I did not know about this movie. Thank you so much for posting this review. I am so putting this movie on my list of must sees. I love true stories and especially ones about faith and near death experiences. This sounds like a super good movie and now I can not wait to see it.
