Red Dawn meets Left Behind, with Moslem bad guys. How does the world end? This is the question of the ages and the Bible gives a very graphic and stark Revelation over which many have debated since John’s letters to the seven churches was first read. Al-Mahdi will take from the Koran the parallel passages with the “12th Imam” and “Jesus Christ” and show the darker, tragic, fate of those who dwell upon the Earth in those later days.
No Left Behind super heroes to save the day. All the cast and characters who remain after the few opening minutes of the film and the Rapture sequence will die. They will die martyrs or apostate or surrender to the mark of the beast. The film will use the now “Classic Bergman Flashback” storytelling narrative whereby 25% of the film is taking place before the rapture in a contemporary setting of world politics, and 75% of the film takes place during the Great Tribulation.
The film’s stark shock opening will display a world as it may look if the demographic and political forces of radical Islam prevail in the next generation. What we once knew of Western Civilization is a persecuted minority in much of the former US and Europe. A future which in the light of the growing secularization of the West, its culture of abortion and promiscuity, and moral indifference may bring about its sudden demise.
Al-Mahdi will show the How and the Why such a deception as foretold in the Bible could indeed come to pass in the exact and literal interpretation of prophecy in a world post-western in culture. After a few short years of such rule, the remnant of liberty stages one last attempt at revival only to be brutally put down by the world Caliphate. No heroes. No winners. The ending will serve as a stark warning to the West that their fate may be sealed if they do not repent while there is still time.
