THE FORGE

Directed by Alex Kendrick (WAR ROOM) and produced by Stephen Kendrick (WAR ROOM), THE FORGE tells the story of Isaiah Wright, a 19-year-old who lives for basketball and video games. A year out of high school, he still has no job, no plans, and no idea how to be a man. At odds with his single mom, Cynthia, Isaiah is given an ultimatum: to step up or move out. Feeling the pull from his friends and the push from his mom, Isaiah is hired by Moore Fitness but has no idea how the owner will personally impact his life. With the prayers of his mother and unexpected guidance from his new mentor, Isaiah is forced to confront his past, sacrifice his selfishness, and discover how God might have a greater purpose for his life. From the Kendrick Brothers, the creators of the #1 box office hit WAR ROOM, comes THE FORGE, a faith-filled new movie with emotional themes, old friends, and new twists.
