In Kirtland, the fledgling church has financial troubles that cause a rift. Hundreds of followers move to Missouri, and Gov. Boggs gathers an army, led by Joshua, to confront them. Soon the militia is ordered to attack the settlement, and only Joshua can save his family from the mob.

Richard Nilsen Arizona Republic The film has leaden dialogue and action without drama: It isn't much more intellectually developed than a grade-school historical pageant. Rated: 2/5 Feb 1, 2007 Full Review Eric D. Snider EricDSnider.com Engaging for most of its running time, but it ends things on a remarkably unsatisfying note. Rated: B- Apr 2, 2007 Full Review Phil Villarreal Arizona Daily Star In less than a decade, Mormon cinema has evolved from an easily dismissed curiosity to respectable art, and much of the credit belongs to "The Work and the Glory" series. Rated: 3/4 Feb 8, 2007 Full Review Sean P. Means Salt Lake Tribune Some TV miniseries spend double what executive producer Larry H. Miller invested to make this trilogy, without getting the rich historical flavor this saga has provided. Rated: 3/4 Nov 22, 2006 Full Review Jeff Vice Deseret News (Salt Lake City) The film does boast surprisingly good production values, considering its limited budget. Rated: 2/4 Nov 21, 2006 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member This is a good movie, but probably the worst of The Work and the Glory trilogy. I still recommend it though, especially if you are religious. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member By far the best one! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Neither of the sequels to the Work and the Glory were as good as the first one, but this one makes a valiant effort. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Better than the second and just as good as the third. This series is great. And too think I didn't even want to see them because of abysmal Mormon movies of the past....Man was I missing out. Hopefully this isn't the last one as a lot of questions are still left unanswered, and that would be the only bad thing about this one. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Read all reviews
