Daniel and The Fiery Furnace is an epic and entertaining film that covers the first three chapters of the book of Daniel in the Bible. 

The film follows the story of the prophet Daniel against the backdrop of exile in Babylon. As Daniel rises within a powerful and unforgiving empire, a ruthless king issues a decree demanding absolute worship under penalty of death. When three faithful men—Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego—refuse to bow, they choose to be cast into a blazing furnace rather than betray their God. In the face of impossible odds, their defiance ignites a miracle that is seen around the world.

In terms of the story, as said this film focuses on the first three chapters of the book of Daniel. Most of the story stays true to the Biblical story, though there is a lot of artistic licence throughout the film, filling in the story, some of it is good and works well in the Biblical narrative. But there is a part that really stands out as jarring from the Biblical text and doesn’t fit who Daniel is. We would encourage anyone who watches this, to actually read the book of Daniel.

The fiery furnace scene is however worth waiting for and is the highlight of the film.

It is a low budget film and some of that is noticeable, but it is mostly well written and directed with Mena Massoud and Elijah Alexander strong as Daniel and King Nebuchadnezzar respectively. 

There is a lot of violence so isn’t suitable for all.

Overall Daniel and The Fiery Furnace is an entertaining and gripping watch, bringing to life the story of Daniel and his friends and encouraging us to stand firm in our faith even when it is difficult, we can know that Jesus is with us no matter what we go through.
