A man involved in a horrific car crash is pronounced dead, only to come back to life an hour and a half later, claiming to have seen Heaven.

Introduction
"90 Minutes in Heaven" is a 2015 Christian drama movie based on the bestselling novel of the same title by Don Piper. Directed and adapted by Michael Polish for the big screen, the movie stars Hayden Christensen as Don Piper, and Kate Bosworth as his other half Eva Piper. The motion picture, imbued with an emotional and spiritual eagerness, testifies a near-death experience, stating on faith, recovery, and triumph against adversity.

Story
The film's story is based on a real-life occurrence. On January 18, 1989, on a bridge in rural Texas, Don Piper-- a Baptist pastor, hubby, and daddy-- remained in a catastrophic vehicle mishap with a semi-truck, and was noticable dead at the scene. Piper and his automobile were squashed. Paramedics covered his lifeless body as they tended to others associated with the calamity.

According to Piper's account, he invested 90 minutes in Heaven where he experienced love, joy, and peace like he never ever did previously. He reunites with late loved ones. This period of peaceful bliss gets disturbed as he unexpectedly discovers himself back in his damaged cars and truck, alive, but in tremendous pain. He's ultimately discovered by Dick Onarecker, another pastor, who had felt a magnificent call to pray for Piper in spite of being informed he's dead. Remarkably, Piper comes back to life.

Struggle & Recovery
The film doesn't just dwell on Piper's incredible experience, but plainly focuses on the consequences. Piper faces difficult unpredictability about why he has been brought back. He's subjected to many unpleasant surgeries and a long, excruciating healing lasting for months. His psychological struggle with the discomfort and his deep longing to go back to paradise leaves him distant from his household and the world around him.

Piper is challenged to battle despair and bitterness while his faith flounders. Bosworth delivers an exceptional efficiency as Eva, juggling concerns for her distressed children and managing monetary pressure while relentlessly promoting for her other half's rehab.

Climax
A turning point shows up when Piper, in utter desolation, finds out the significance behind his experience. With the aid of a caring brand-new friend, and through letters gotten from individuals motivated by his disaster, he ultimately comprehends that he survived to motivate others with his story about paradise and the power of prayer.

Conclusion
"90 Minutes in Heaven" provides an emotional expedition of one guy's battle in between life and death, hope and despair, and faith and doubt. The movie clearly presents the subtleties of a family's endurance in the face of unthinkable suffering and their unwavering faith that ultimately results in ultimate healing and revival. Through the protagonist's viewpoint, it supplies a peek into the afterlife, thereby stirring ideas on faith, miracles, and the power of prayer.
