“DANIEL [AND] THE FIERY FURNACE is a declaration of faith, resilience, and the power of standing firm when everything is on the line,” an official description of the movie reads. “A live-action biblical drama about courage, unshakable faith, and defiance in the face of impossible odds. DANIEL [AND] THE FIERY FURNACE brings the origin story of the Prophet Daniel to life, based on one of the most beloved and awe-inspiring moments in Scripture — the story of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. Three men. One decree. A blazing furnace. And a defiance that would ignite a miracle seen around the world.”
