More Detail:

After a five-year hiatus, World Wide Pictures, the film division of the Billy Graham Association, is releasing EYE OF THE STORM about Tom Edwards, a successful news anchor, who has just returned from covering Operation Desert Storm. While in the Persian Gulf, Tom saved an attractive co-worker, Pete, from injury. Now, Tom comes up with a story: What happened to the battlefield converts to Christianity? Tom discovers one soldier after another who has become more convinced of the reality of Jesus’s lordship in postwar living. Meanwhile, Tom’s daughter, Jill, has become increasingly distant. When a crisis blows open, a review of Pete’s Billy Graham video footage leads to a satisfying reconciliation of father and daughter with each other and God.

EYE OF THE STORM occasionally portrays the sinners as more interesting than the saints. However, Jeff Conaway pulls off the conversion scenes very convincingly. Overall, EYE OF THE STORM, though it is a limited audience movie, marks a welcome re-entry of World Wide Pictures into Christian filmmaking. Regrettably, unlike previous World Wide films, it was made for church release, as opposed to theatrical release.
