This made-for-TV movie was produced in 1983 and is about the true-life Christian testimony of Phil Thatcher. The running time is about 56 minutes.
Phil Thatcher was born at the turn of the 20th century and became a notorious criminal in California during the 1920s. The movie shows his life progress from boyhood to manhood and how the death of his father when he was a child was a defining reason for his rebellion.
Phil's mother was always there for him, sharing her faith in Jesus Christ. Eventually, her prayers were answered when Phil came to believe in the Holy Bible and Jesus Christ.
With the majority of his life spent in prison, Phil finally realized what was valuable in life and was able to enjoy God's redemption in his formerly destroyed life.
He left Folsom Prison in 1941 and never went back to prison again as a prisoner. He went on to have an effective prison and youth ministry helping many souls find salvation in Jesus Christ just as he did in prison.
Great movie inspired by the Holy Spirit. True stories are always the best, especially if they are Christian.
