What is left behind movies?

The "Left Behind" series is a set of Christian apocalyptic films based on the book series of the same name by Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins. The films focus on the events of the Rapture, when believers in Jesus Christ are taken up to heaven, leaving the rest of the world to face a period of tribulation.

The first film in the series, "Left Behind: The Movie," was released in 2000 and starred Kirk Cameron as the main character, journalist Buck Williams. The film was successful with Christian audiences and sparked multiple sequels, including "Left Behind II: Tribulation Force" (2002), "Left Behind: World at War" (2005), and a reboot titled "Left Behind" (2014) starring Nicolas Cage.

While the films have received criticism for their acting and production values, they have found a dedicated audience among Christians interested in end times theology and the Rapture. The series has also sparked debate and discussion around the topic of biblical prophecy and the end of the world.
