Magnificent! is a bold action-adventure that fuses gritty realism with unexpected humor. When a Philippine village is decimated by extremists, and a young American missionary escapes with her life, leaving her husband behind, her grandfather, a widowed, war-scarred former Green Beret and missionary, receives a call he can’t ignore. Long retired and half-forgotten in a senior living facility, Clint Rasp straps on his boots, rappels out a seventh-story window, and begins assembling a team of aging spiritual warriors for a mission no one’s sanctioned and no one thinks possible.
This isn’t just a rescue story—it’s a journey in the heart of darkness. As Clint recruits former comrades—including a truth-telling preacher who publicly rebukes his megachurch celebrity son, and a pilot with Parkinson’s but unshaken faith—the story moves with humor, heartbreak, and escalating urgency. Their destination: a jungle stronghold controlled by a brutal terrorist leader whose backstory reveals a twisted spiritual journey of his own.
With echoes of The Dirty Dozen, The Expendables, Hacksaw Ridge, and Gran Torino, Magnificent! offers a gripping, genre-crossing story for faith-based and secular audiences alike. It’s both an indictment and a rallying cry—a call to risk, to sacrifice, and to finish strong.
