Plot summary

An inspirational true story. On what seemed like any other day, Elders Travis Tuttle (Corbin Allred) and Andrew Propst (Maclain Nelson) are approached by Nikolai (Nikita Bogolyubov) to teach a friend. But then the missionaries experience the unimaginable - they are kidnapped, beaten, and held for ransom. While their families, friends, and the world pray for their safe release, Tuttle and Propst are tested physically, emotionally, and most of all spiritually.

Spoilers: I wouldn't rip it for having religious

Spoilers: I wouldn't rip it for having religious themes because it seemed both organic and authentic, if a bit overly earnest, but that, too, is reflective of this culture, where young people venture out to the "missions," to spread their word. People live this way. As for a story narrative, it did drag, and this is a "based on" story, so we don't know how much is true, how much is embellished. Russian criminals don't seem to be all that willing to change, as I think of Putin, the war criminal of our time. But I suppose a replica tattoo could push one over the line if he is close to relenting on killing the pair anyway. The family decided not to pay the ransom dough in order to protect others, and the pair decided not to bash the captor and to die to keep others from facing the same thing, which were heroic decisions. The main characters sold the roles pretty well. Their continuation of the mission afterward reminded me of something I saw from a Ukrainian soldier who was asked if he is afraid of dying. He said, "I die, you die, we all die, it's not so important when we die, it's important what you are doing when you die."
