The Remaining

The film begins with a heartwarming montage of tender moments shared between Skylar 'Sky' and Dan during their wedding celebration. This joyful occasion is captured through the lens of Tommy Covington, a friend documenting the special day for Dan.

During the wedding, Skylar's Christian parents ride an elevator where they suddenly suffer an inexplicable fate. Their eyes turn milky white, unsettling everyone, and signaling the impending chaos that is about to unfold.

Following the mysterious event, the atmosphere changes dramatically, transforming into apocalyptic pandemonium. People around them begin to panic as more individuals are affected, and planes fall from the sky, erupting in fiery explosions.

Tommy and Jack rush to find answers amidst the chaos, when they hear a piercing noise reminiscent of a trumpet. This sound, coupled with ominous thunder and lightning, heightens the fear as they realize the situation is dire.

The group discusses their predicament, with Skylar theorizing that they are experiencing the Biblical Rapture, a moment of separation between the believers and non-believers. Tommy remains skeptical, preferring to seek scientific explanations instead.

As hailstones begin to rain down, threatening their safety, Tommy meets Sam while Skylar finds solace in the Bible. She shares passages discussing the Rapture, particularly focusing on 'The First Trumpet' with Dan and Jack.

Guided by desperation, the group approaches a nearby church for refuge. As they near safety, a sinister force violently pulls Skylar away from Dan, resulting in a struggle as they fight to rescue her, highlighting the urgency of their situation.

Inside the church, they meet Pastor Shay who offers them sanctuary from the chaos outside. Emotional reunions unfold as Jack sees Allison while Dan comforts an injured Skylar, who is in desperate need of healing.

Pastor Shay explains their grim reality; the world is in turmoil due to the Rapture. Tragedy strikes when a woman gives birth to a stillborn child inside the church, symbolizing the devastating loss of hope amid the chaos.

Tommy records a haunting video capturing Skylar's abduction by a supernatural force. Pastor Shay emphasizes that the Fifth Trumpet has sounded, revealing the ominous presence of a Fallen Angel, further deepening their existential crisis.

As the group finds refuge, they hear ominous noises at the church doors. The Fallen launch an assault on their sanctuary, forcing the terrified survivors to retreat to the basement for protection from the encroaching evil.

In a courageous act, Pastor Shay sacrifices himself to save those within the church, showcasing immense bravery in the face of overwhelming odds. His selflessness emphasizes the stark reality they all face amidst the ravaged world.

Tommy, Jack, Dan, and Sam set out to seek medical help for the gravely injured Skylar. Unfortunately, they arrive too late as she succumbs to her injuries, leaving Dan devastated and filled with anguish towards God.

In a moment of grief-fueled rage, Dan lashes out against God, which leads to a horrific fate as he is suddenly impaled and taken into the sky. This incident resonates as an echo of the events that happened to Allison.

As ominous melodies play through a relief camp's speakers, Tommy and Sam prepare for their final stand against the demonic forces unleashed upon them. Their love and faith are tested as they face the very shadows that threaten to consume them.
