The film is based on the inspirational true story of one mother’s unfaltering love in the face of impossible odds. When Joyce Smith’s adopted son John falls through an icy Missouri lake, all hope seems lost. But as John lies lifeless, Joyce refuses to give up. Her steadfast belief inspires those around her to continue to pray for John’s recovery, even in the face of every case history and scientific prediction. From producer DeVon Franklin (Miracles from Heaven) and adapted for the screen by Grant Nieporte (Seven Pounds) from Joyce Smith’s own book, BREAKTHROUGH is an enthralling reminder that faith and love can create a mountain of hope, and sometimes even a miracle.

A boy falls through the ice and gets saved by God in a feel-good Christian disaster movie with no doubt (none!) about the miraculous power of faith.

There's never any doubt that things will work out just fine in "Breakthrough," and not only because Roxann Dawson's movie is based on a true story. It's also because of the film's overtly Christian approach, which leans strongly toward the evangelical side of its discussion of faith and religion.

Even if you already know what’s coming, John’s plunge into Lake Sainte Louise and the retrieval of his body is still bone-chilling.

The new Christian drama “Breakthrough” is blessed with a tremendous true story. In 2015, a St. Louis teen fell through an icy lake, remained underwater for a deadly 15 minutes and was deemed a lost cause, but ultimately came through unscathed.
