The film is based on a book called The Impossible by Joyce Smith which tells the inspiringly true story of how Smith’s son, John, fell through the ice, drowned, and was declared legally dead, only to be revived an hour later through the power of prayer.
Breakthrough will be Curry’s first project since he launched Unanimous Media, his film and TV company under Sony Pictures Entertainment, earlier this year.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, Curry jumped at the chance to work on Breakthrough because of its strong messages of faith and family.
“John’s story is nothing short of incredible,” Curry told THR. “It’s a story about the power of prayer and perseverance and one I immediately connected to. After reading the script, I knew I wanted to be a part of bringing it to life onscreen.”
Standing before the ancient king Agrippa, the Apostle Paul asked, “Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you, that God should raise the dead”?
Don Piper died in an horrific auto crash and, through prayer, revived.“That’s perhaps the biggest miracle: People prayed and God honored their prayers.

Jesus said in Mark 9:23, “If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believes”.
If prayer can even raise the dead, there’s nothing that prayer can’t do. What else can you accomplish when you pray?
Here are just a few things that prayer can do:
- Provides timely direction.
- Prevents wrong decisions.
- Eliminates worry and anxiety.
- Produces peacefulness.
- Invites God into our activity.
- Produces confidence.
- Eliminates fretting.
- Sharpens discernment.
- Gives us energy.
- Prevents distractions.
- Reminds us to act now.
- Protects us from discouragement.
- Opens doors of opportunity.
- Helps us discern between busyness and fruitfulness…..So, what do you need to pray about today?
