2015) – From the creators of Fireproof and Courageous
comes the heartwarming and inspirational box office hit WAR
ROOM, debuting on Digital HD Dec. 8 and on Blu-ray™ and DVD Dec.
22 from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. The faith and family
drama, that became the No. 1 movie in U.S. theaters, focuses on
the transformative power of prayer. The film centers on a
seemingly perfect family who find desperately needed help for
their hidden problems from a wise, elderly widow named Miss
Clara. Directed by Alex Kendrick, produced by Stephen Kendrick,

featurette where viewers get to meet Coach Stephen Simpson and
hear how he trained the actors to double Dutch in two weeks.
Blu-ray™ and DVD bonus materials also include Deleted Scenes,
Commentary from the Kendrick brothers, plus eight
Behind-the-Scenes featurettes that are, in many ways, as
inspirational as the film. These include “The Making of War
Room,” which dives deeper into the unique production, “The Heart
of War Room,” that focuses on its powerful message and meaning;
and “Modern Day Miss Clara,” which introduces viewers to Molly
Bruno, a 91-year-old prayer warrior and one of the inspirations
behind the character of Miss Clara. Also included are “From
Auditioning to Acting,” an insider’s look at the casting and
“Investing in the Next Generation,” which shows how the
Kendricks’ mentored aspiring film makers on set. “A Pastor’s
Call to Prayer,” features spiritual leaders like, Dr. Tony Evans
and Pastor Ronnie Floyd sharing the importance of church leaders
guiding their congregations to the centrality of prayer. The
faith-community will love “Church on Its Knees,” which reveals
how church families can set up their own prayer ministry; and
“War Room in 60 Seconds,” a fast and funny retelling of the plot
of War Room with a twist. Both the War Room feature film, and
the new Behind the Scenes bonus featurettes promise audiences a
journey of laughter and tears to enjoy together this coming
Christmas.
Synopsis:
Tony and Elizabeth Jordan have it all—great jobs, a beautiful
daughter, and their dream house. But appearances can be
deceiving. Tony and Elizabeth Jordan’s world is actually
crumbling under the strain of a failing marriage. While Tony
basks in his professional success and flirts with temptation,
Elizabeth resigns herself to increasing bitterness. But their
lives take an unexpected turn when Elizabeth meets her newest
client, Miss Clara, and is challenged to establish a “war room”
and a battle plan of prayer for her family. As Elizabeth tries
to fight for her family, Tony’s hidden struggles come to light.
Tony must decide if he will make amends to his family and prove
Miss Clara’s wisdom that victories don’t come by accident.

Stephen Kendrick, WAR ROOM is produced by Stephen Kendrick,
distributed by AFFIRM Films/Sony Pictures Home Entertainment in
the general market, and Provident Distribution in the Christian
