“Elevator to Salvation” is both a creative story and a unique film. Two powerful businessmen, Jim and Bob, wind up in an elevator that reverts back to the 1930s. Both men are in need of salvation, and both have had people fired they didn’t care for and have profited financially by manipulating company funds. In the beginning of the movie, Jim comments that his business office was formerly a church for 12 years, and that for 12 years “capitalism was wasted.” But he and Bob wind up in the elevator and a voice from the elevator talks to them, saying things like, “Prepare yourself.” Things become quite interesting and viewers will wonder what comes next. The movie does a great job holding our attention.
Bob begins to find notes in the elevator, written in 1971, 1943, and 1956, and they all tell the same story. Each writer took a horrible elevator ride. All of them had hurt others and didn’t take time to think about God. Bob becomes convinced that God is in control of the elevator, but a skeptical Jim thinks their employees are playing a terrible joke on them to get even for how they have been treated. As the ride becomes scarier and more eye-popping for both, Bob begins to repent and tries to convince Jim to do the same. After all, the word “Repent” is carved into the wood of the elevator and Bob wants Jim to join him in doing just that.
There is a twist at the end and we definitely see the difference this unusual and “divine” elevator ride makes in the lives of two men. We are happy to present our Dove Seal for ages 12 and over to “Elevator to Salvation.” This is one ride you won’t soon forget!
