Experience 'Joshua—Live!' in Cinemas

On October 30, 2026, moviegoers across the nation will have the opportunity to witness the powerful story of 'Joshua—Live!' on the big screen. This cinematic adaptation commemorates the 50th anniversary of Sight and Sound, a beloved entertainment company known for its remarkable stage productions based on biblical narratives. After the successful release of 'A Great Awakening,' this latest endeavor aims to inspire audiences with one of the Bible's most redemptive tales.

Filmed with an audience in situ, 'Joshua—Live!' recounts the harrowing journey of the Israelites as they transition from slavery in Egypt to freedom in the Promised Land under the guidance of their new leader, Joshua. A gripping narrative unfolds as Joshua prepares to lead his people against the fortified city of Jericho, where they face both internal and external challenges that test their faith and reliance on divine guidance.

Creative Producer Ryan Miller highlights the core message of the story: "Often, when we think about Joshua's story, we picture the moment the trumpets blast, and the walls of Jericho come down. But before a single brick could fall, the Israelites had to first learn to arm themselves with trust in the Lord." This philosophy encapsulates the essence of the play and its cinematic counterpart, reinforcing a potent message about faith and courage.

The filming of 'Joshua—Live!' utilizes advanced technology, boasting high-definition visuals and immersive sound designed to engage audiences fully. The production features a wraparound stage that wraps 300 feet around the set, ensuring each scene is captured in detail for a truly captivating experience. Furthermore, an original soundtrack infused with gospel music, combined with state-of-the-art special effects, enhances the spectacle, making it suitable for viewers of all ages.

Incorporating an array of live animals, including camels, horses, donkeys, llamas, pigs, sheep, and goats, the production provides an authentic representation of the biblical era. This mixture of theater and cinema adds an additional layer of excitement, drawing families and friends together for an unforgettable outing.

As the Israelites navigate their newfound freedom in an unforgiving wilderness, Joshua's leadership is put to the ultimate test. Faced with dwindling supplies and impending threats, his unwavering faith becomes a beacon of hope. Just when the situation appears most dire, unexpected reinforcements arise from behind enemy lines, catalyzing a series of events that could change the course of their destiny.

Howard Cohen and Eric d'Arbeloff, Co-Presidents of Roadside Attractions, expressed their enthusiasm for this project: "It's no mystery why fans travel from throughout the world to see them. With 'JOSHUA—Live!', Sight and Sound has created a beautiful cinematic capture of this powerful story. We are thrilled to bring Sight and Sound's inspiring work to cinemas once again."

Sight and Sound, one of the largest faith-based entertainment companies in the United States, invites audiences to connect with the narrative through local theaters, aiming to reach families who may not have the opportunity to experience the live production. Katie Miller, VP of Brand Development, noted, "We know not everyone can travel to us or visit our theaters, so we’re incredibly grateful for the opportunity to bring this message of God's mercy right to families at their local movie theater and inspire them to be strong and courageous."
