History Film / LeftBehind2014

* EmptyPilesOfClothing: The elect leave them behind. Every member of the elect was evidently GoingCommando that day, too. As those who are still clothed are disturbed there's no underwear to be seen.

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 they get CaughtUpInTheRapture.

* AdaptedOut: Since it covers only the first few chapters of the first book, and is so tightly focused on the airplane trip, you'll never hear any mention of Chaim Rosenzweig from Buck Williams, a character that basically pushed him toward belief in God when Israel survives an all-out attack by Russia by supernatural intervention (also not mentioned).

* AdaptedOut: Since it covers only the first few chapters of the first book, and is so tightly focused on the airplane trip, you'll never hear any mention of Chaim Rosenzweig from Buck Williams.

* CellPhonesAreUseless: They can't a signal on their satellite phones, - which doesn't make sense (they should have a signal, just be unable to get through because of the traffic) did the satellites get raptured, too?
* CultureBlind: Everyone on the plane. 75% of the United States identify as Christian. Many go to church, or do at some point in their lives - even those who aren't "Saved" have heard the world and sat through many a church service - this is even pointed out by Pastor Bruce. Yet it takes HOURS and much discussion for someone to finally mention that she went to a Christian Camp years ago and heard about the Rapture and this might be it.

* EmptyPilesOfClothing: The elect leave them behind. Every member of the elect was evidently GoingCommando that day, too. As clothed are disturbed there's no underwear to be seen.

* GhostExtras: The extras running around in the parking lot of the mall are doing exactly that. Hence not a one of them seems to stop and look at the burning plane, making it strangely an UnusuallyUninterestingSight, even with the pandemonium of the rapture.

* NewsBroadcast: Evidently the news gathered it together pretty quickly and got a broadcast out near ''immediately'' after the rapture - heck Even the air traffic controllers didn't gather themselves together that quickly!

* PlotTime: Chole walks around at Midday (note the shadows) witnessing the events of the rapture, while it falls dark pretty quickly for the flight to London. When the plane flies back it catches the last glimpse of sunset as it nears New York - which means ''the plane was flying faster than the setting sun''.
* PowderKegCrowd: It seems the unsaved like to run screaming in circles after the rapture.
* ProductPlacement: Starbucks and other Mall stores in the mall scene.

* TheRadioDiesFirst: No one is responding to the radio in the plane. There should be lots of planes in the air over the Atlantic they could talk to, unless that day they were pulling form their Christian pilot pool.

* StuffBlowingUp: The the tank that explodes as Chloe runs by does not affect anyone or anything - it is just for the RuleOfCool, having a pretty girl running past an explosion.

* WretchedHive: Removing the elect was evidently the only thing keeping society from this. Almost before everyone has a chance to figure out what is happening, people are stealing televisions from the mall.

* OddlySmallOrganization: Two flight crew members (even pre-rapture) is pretty thin for a transatlantic flight.

* NoOshaCompliance: There is no reason in the WORLD for an expressway project in the middle of Queens, New York to ''leave the keys in the ignition of their cars'' - that's asking for them to be stolen. Also no reason to have ;;that many;; containers of explosive liquid lying around a ''road construction'' site.

* CompressedAdaptation: The film begins shortly before Rayford goes onboard the plane (which isn't actually shown in the book) and ends when he makes an emergency landing. In the book, that part only covers the first few chapters.

* AdaptationExpansion: The film begins shortly before Rayford goes onboard the plane (which isn't actually shown in the book) and ends when he makes an emergency landing. In the book, that part only covers the first few chapters.

* AdaptedOut: Since it covers only the first few chapters of the first book, you'll never hear any mention of Chaim Rosenzweig from Buck Williams.

For the film version starring Kirk Cameron, see ''[[Film/LeftBehind2000 Left Behind (2000)]]''.

* OddlySmallOrganization: Two flight crew (even pre-rapture) is pretty thin for a transatlantic flight.

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.

* StuffBlowingUp: The the tank that explodes as Chloe runs by does not affect anyone or anything - it is just for TheRuleOfCool, having a pretty girl running past an explosion.

* CaliforniaDoubling: In the 2014 film, scenes in Queens, NY were shot in ''Baton Rouge'', and it ''shows''.

* DestinationDefenestration: Chloe Steele witnesses somebody getting shotgun-blasted through a glass door window in the 2014 movie.
* DrivenToSuicide: Chloe Steele in the 2014 movie almost commits suicide, but a phone call from Buck stops her from doing so.

* GenreShift: In the process of adaptation. While the book and the Kirk Cameron movie were more like political thrillers, the 2014 version mostly covers Rayford's attempts to land his plane in the aftermath of the Rapture and, as some critics remarked, becomes more reminiscent of 1970s airplane disaster movies like ''Film/{{Airport}}''.

* TheHerosBirthday: The events of the 2014 movie took place on Rayford Steele's birthday.
* [[IHaveYourWife I Have Your Daughter]]: One of the passengers on board the plane from New York to London in the 2014 movie suspects that her daughter was kidnapped while she wasn't looking and is being held for ransom, so she pulls out a gun and threatens to shoot unless the passengers admit who is responsible. Buck Williams tries to calmly talk her down from killing anybody, while another passenger says that it was most likely the Rapture that took the woman's daughter. She then turns the gun on herself, but Buck also keeps her from killing herself and relinquishes the gun from the woman.

* IronicBirthday: In the 2014 movie, the Rapture takes place on Rayford Steele's birthday.
* MidairCollision: Barely averted in the 2014 movie, where Rayford Steele tries to avoid a jet without its pilots heading straight for his. The only thing that happens is wing damage, as it causes the jet to leak fuel as it's headed back toward New York.

* WindowPain: Chloe Steele breaks through the glass of a sealed-off hospital to find her brother Raymie in the 2014 movie.

* TheRadioDiesFirst: No one is responding to the radio in the plane. On top of that they can't a signal on their satellite phones, either - which doesn't make sense (they should have a signal, just be unable to get through because of the traffic) did the sattelites get raptured, too?
