According to executive producer and Sherwood Baptist Church senior pastor Michael Catt, 'Courageous' is a one-of-a-kind movie that combines "an entertaining, engaging story with a vital, inspiring message." He adds that viewers, who will all be on the edge of their seats while watching the film, will have a change of heart and will be inspired to "resolve to make a difference in their lives and the loves of those they care about."

'Courageous' opened at No. 4 in its premiere and was in the box office Top 10 for a month. Distributed by Provident Distribution, the film is about four police officers who face their greatest challenge yet — fatherhood. When tragedy strikes home, these men bound by their professional calling 'to serve and protect' have to face their hopes, fears, faith and fathering courageously, and with God-given grace and confidence.

'Courageous' stars Ken Bevel, Ben Davies, Kevin Downes and Alex Kendrick, who also directed the film. He also co-wrote the screenplay along with brother Stephen Kendrick. The film's success follows those of other Sherwood Pictures-produced films such as 'Fireproof' and 'Facing the Giants,' which both also opened in the box office Top 10.

The film is available on DVD and an Exclusive Collector's Edition DVD/Blu-Ray combo pack at Christian retailers.
