The Case for Christ is a 2017 American Christian drama film directed by Jon Gunn and written by Brian Bird. It is based on the true story that inspired the 1998 book of the same name by Lee Strobel. The film stars Mike Vogel, Erika Christensen, Faye Dunaway and Robert Forster and is about a journalist who looks to disprove his wife’s Christian faith. In 1980, atheist and award-winning investigative journalist Lee Strobel, using his journalistic and legal skills, attempts to disprove his wife Leslie’s newfound Christian faith. This causes problems within the marriage. After completing a thorough investigation for almost two years, Strobel finds the historical evidence for Jesus and a new faith in Christ.
