Plot

After the unexpected death of their infant, doctors Paul (C. Thomas Howell) and Kim Jordan (Anora Lyn) decide to leave America and travel to Thailand on a medical mission. While they're adapting to their new life, Paul is kidnapped and taken to an isolated island by human traffickers, who need a doctor to save their wounded leader. Kim is left to find her husband on her own, unable to prove the reason for his disappearance. Paul is imprisoned with Englishman Malcolm Andrews (John Rhys-Davies), who is being held for ransom. The two men quickly discover that their philosophies are polar opposites: Andrews is a highly spiritual man, while Paul is a strict atheist. Paul later learns that he cannot save his kidnappers' leader without modern equipment, to which he has no access. Paul and Andrews decide to plan an escape as their last hope for survival.[1]

Reception

The Dove Foundation called it "a tremendous story of redemption".[3]

gollark: Because 2% or more people dying is quite bad. I do think the reactions have been bad though.
gollark: Also, the death rate is higher. Waaaay higher if hospitals are overloaded.
gollark: Also, I've heard GPS will lose accuracy within a few months if there's nobody maintaining it, though you could compensate for this if you had a point with a fixed known location and probably GPS expert.
gollark: <@249224113095180289> You can get maps apps which download from openstreetmap ot something.
gollark: Fun fact: if you just train a *person* to do a task, you're technically "training a neural network" to do it!
