The entire planet is thrown into mayhem when millions of people disappear without a trace -- all that remains are their clothes and belongings. Unmanned vehicles crash and planes fall from the sky, overwhelming emergency forces and causing massive gridlock, riots and chaos. Airline pilot Ray Steele (Nicolas Cage) struggles to save the lives of the passengers who remain on his flight, while his daughter (Cassi Thomson) races to find her brother and mother, both of whom have disappeared.

Critics Consensus

Yea verily, like unto a plague of locusts, Left Behind hath begat a further scourge of devastation upon Nicolas Cage's once-proud filmography.

The effects are hilarious, the sets are rinky-dink, and the character names are funnier than a full season of 'Big Bang Theory,' and the "narrative arc" of our heroine is laughably predictable.

The first movie made from this material was all about the Anti-Christ taking over the UN. This one's about landing a plane.

The movie unravels in its own destruction. Every effort to milk the tragedy of the apocalypse is met with terrible music, acting and effects that soak (and drown) the pathos in camp fare.

Cage has little to do but somehow manages to do less with it.

…Left Behind seems entirely preoccupied with the mechanics of landing a jet aircraft on a motorway rather than any advanced theological questions...

Definitely not a 0 like the critic score says I'd say the audience score is more accurate I enjoyed it but it's not a good movie I definitely can't recommend it unless you're really that curious about it it's not the worst thing ever but it wasn't good either

What an absolutely idiotic movie. It starts out as so many airplane movies, only to turn into utter crap. Not only is the script extremely lousy, the directing is bloody awful as well. 2/10 points!

I enjoy watching it on the free streaming channel app called Tubi and with spectrum Internet I won't be worrying about buffing anymore so it's all good.

Film has a truthful message to it and I enjoyed the movie. I got to be an extra in the film so that was nice as well.
