Heroic Pictures’ new movie AMERICAN MIRACLE – OUR NATION IS NO ACCIDENT will remind viewers of the inspiring and faith-filled story behind the United States.
Based on Michael Medved’s New York Times bestseller
“Many of the Founding Fathers were not conventionally religious, but they deeply believed in what Washington, in his first inaugural address called, ‘The Invisible Hand,’” Medved said in a statement, adding, “which was the hand of God in human affairs.”
Executive producer Ralf W. Augstroze added, “This film is a story about the birth of our nation, our foundational years, and the men and women who were instrumental during those years. They all believed deeply in the divine hand of providence in America’s creation, and we are bringing that history back to the forefront.”
The cast of AMERICAN MIRACLE – OUR NATION IS NO ACCIDENT includes Kevin Sorbo, Pat Boone, Nicole C. Mullen, Cameron Arnett, James Arnold Taylor and Libby Smallbone, as well as historians and scholars Joseph Ellis, Richard Dreyfuss, Robert P. George, Akhil Reed Amar, Paul Kengor and Jana Novak.
“With the upcoming 250th Anniversary of America, this is the perfect time to release this film,” producer Douglas B. Maddox said. “We’re inviting Americans to rediscover their roots and the true history of our nation. We hope viewers of the film will be surprised and deeply moved by what they see. Join us in celebrating this milestone by watching and supporting this film. Spread the word and help us share this important story with everyone.”
The film is directed by Timothy P. Mahoney.

“A strong theme in the film is gratitude for God and His divine providence, which we should never take for granted,” Mahoney explained. “A lot of other nations look to America and wonder, ‘What is it that makes America what it is?’ The AMERICAN MIRACLE clearly communicates that our freedoms and liberties don’t come from a government or person; they come from a higher power – they come from God. It is in God that we trust.”
Production copany Heroic Pictures focuses on “telling true stories of God acting in history, shedding light on the lives of heroic people and events that have shaped our past and inspire our future,” making AMERICAN MIRACLE – OUR NATION IS NO ACCIDENT the perfect film.
AMERICAN MIRACLE – OUR NATION IS NO ACCIDENT will release nationwide on June 9, 10 and 11 to honor our nation’s 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Stay tuned for information to purchase tickets.
