''Left Behind'' is the second attempt at a FilmOfTheBook of the first ''Literature/LeftBehind'' book, covering the first half of the book, loosely. This time, however, it was released to theaters and stars Creator/NicolasCage. The film was directed by Vic Armstrong and produced by Stoney Lake Entertainment.

Chloe Steele arrives at the airport in time for her Dad's birthday party, and saves a cute reporter from a nutty Christian. It turns out her father, a pilot, got called in to work so they meet at the airport. They see each other and then go their separate ways. Oh, and then people get CaughtUpInTheRapture.

** And of course the assumption that those who aren't raptured are mostly all greedy self-centered people, considering how the Bible points out that it's more than simply being nice (Ephesians 2:8-9) that gets you saved -- but chaotic bad, BlackAndWhiteMorality people make for better visuals and drama.

* PinballProtagonist: Chole pretty much wanders around and lets things happen to her most of the day.

* AdaptationBadass: Chloe gets one, as she [[MacGyvering MacGyvers]] a landing strip and flare out of a deserted stretch of highway and some explosives, allowing Ray to land the plane safely.

* AdaptationHeroism: Hattie is more sympathetic in this adaptation, as unlike the books or the prior films, she has no idea Ray is married.
* AdaptationKarma: Ray gets a WhatTheHellHero from Hattie when she finds out he's married, in comparison with the books, which give him a pass regarding his pursuit of her, rationalizing that he hadn't actually closed the deal with her.

* InconvenientSummons: The Rapture itself (which also takes place in The Rapture) could be considered this, as Christians are pulled out of whatever they were doing at that moment to be with the Lord, and in certain cases inadvertently putting other people into danger, such as in the case where Rayford's co-pilot disappears from the cockpit while Rayford was talking with Hattie.

* WindowPain: Chloe Steele breaks through the glass of a sealed-off hospital to find her brother.

* CaliforniaDoubling: The scenes in Queens, NY were shot in ''Baton Rouge'', and it ''shows''.
