Breakthrough (2019) watch online

Breakthrough is a 2019 American Christian medical drama film directed by Roxann Dawson in her feature film directorial debut. The film was written by Grant Nieporte, based on the Christian book The Impossible, an account of true events written by Joyce Smith with Ginger Kolbaba. It stars Chrissy Metz, Josh Lucas, Topher Grace, Mike Colter, Marcel Ruiz and Dennis Haysbert. Stephen Curry and Samuel Rodriguez are executive producers.

The film tells the story of a Lake St. Louis teenager who slipped through an icy lake on January 19, 2015, and was underwater for 15 minutes before resuscitative efforts were started. Although he was rescued, he remains in a coma, and his family must rely on their faith to get through the ordeal.

Breakthrough premiered in St. Louis on March 20, 2019, and was released in the United States on April 17, 2019, by 20th Century Fox, as the studio's first feature film after the acquisition of 21st Century Fox by Disney. The film received mixed reviews from critics, who praised the performances and inspirational messages, but called the plot predictable. The film garnered a nomination at the 92nd Academy Awards for Best Original Song.
