Infinitely better and more involving than the later Nicolas Cage film in spite of a much-too-young-looking Kirk Cameron playing TV journalist Buck Williams, which (among other things) gives the film an amateurish feel that it can never quite surmount. Enjoyable nevertheless, in a guilty pleasure sort of way. When 150 million people disappear from the face of the world, Buck links a new technology that allows food to be grown virtually anywhere with a couple of greedy businessmen and a prideful contender for the Secretary-Generalship of the United Nations and comes up with the Biblical Rapture in progress. Helping him are a once-lustful airline pilot and his initially disbelieving daughter. The story continues in Left Behind II: Tribulation Force and Left Behind: World at War, all of which are based on the series of novels by Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins, who, by the way, like the critics, generally disliked the films.
