Storyline

Filled with heart, humor, and wit, WAR ROOM follows Tony and Elizabeth Jordan, a couple who seemingly have it all-great jobs, a beautiful daughter, their dream home. But appearances can be deceiving. In reality, their marriage has become a war zone and their daughter is collateral damage. With guidance from Miss Clara, an older, wiser woman, Elizabeth discovers she can start fighting for her family instead of against them. As the power of prayer and Elizabeth's newly energized faith transform her life, will Tony join the fight and become the man he knows he needs to be? Together, their real enemy doesn't have a prayer.

Trivia

The opening war scenes were from the Vietnam War. There had been no sound with it, so they had to create their own. The "War Room" seen right afterwards was created by them specifically for the movie and was one of the very few sets that they have built for their films.

Goofs

When in the War Room, there is a soldier with a patch of the 25th Infantry Division, and of the 3rd Infantry Division. It is not possible for someone to be attached to two divisions at once. Not to mention that the 3rd Infantry Division did not take part in the Vietnam War. However, the right shoulder signifies Wartime service. Those soldiers who are combat veterans are authorized permanent wear of the SSI of the unit they fought with on their right shoulder. This shoulder sleeve insignia recognizes "former wartime service" and is frequently called a "combat patch". Per Army Regulation 670-1, a soldier is authorized to wear the SSI of their higher headquarters. This is not dependent on whether or not the higher headquarters deployed, or to whom the soldier was attached throughout his/her deployment. The 3rd (Marne) Division did serve (with distinction) during WWI and WWII and also during the Korean Conflict ...

Quotes

Elizabeth Jordan: I don't know where you are, Devil, but I know you can hear me. You have played with my mind and had your way long enough! No more! You are done! Jesus is the Lord of this house, and that means there's no place for you here anymore! So take your lies, your schemes, and your accusations and get out in Jesus' name!

User Reviews

Another Outstanding Work

War Room provides an honest and realistic look at life and how prayer can make a difference. If you are struggling with life this is a good movie to receive positive direction and hope that there is more than we can see that influences us each day.

Christian values and beliefs are the basis for all the Kendrick brothers movies, each specializing in one major aspect of life. Warfare surrounds us each day either in person or in the media. Spiritual warfare is not on the news but it is just as real and shares consequences just as devastating.

Highly recommend the movie.
