Jerusalem Countdown is a 2011 Christian thriller film adapted from the speculative fiction novel of the same name novel by John Hagee. It was directed and co-written by Harold Cronk and stars David A.R. White, Anna Zielinski, Randy Travis, Lee Majors, Stacy Keach, and Marco Khan.

In this end of times thriller, seven backpack nukes, code named The Seven Wonders have been dispatched throughout the United States by terrorists. A battle for Jerusalem has begun, and Israel's main ally, America, is targeted for destruction. Senior FBI Agent Shane Daughtry (David A. R. White) and agent Eve Rearden (Anna Zielinski) must find these weapons before they can be detonated. Time is of the essence; useful information is coming from Arlin Rockwell (Lee Majors), a dysfunctional arms dealer who smuggled the weapons, Jackson (Stacy Keach), a retired FBI agent, and Jack Thompson (Randy Travis), a rigid CIA Deputy Director,against an Russian-Iranian terrorist group known as The Revolution of God who put the nuclear attack plan into motion. The anti -Israeli group is under the command of Matthew Dean and a private transporter named Javad(Marco Khan).

The soundtrack was written by Jeehun Hwang.

Several reviewers complained about character development that leads nowhere and excessive attention lavished on newscasts pertaining to negotiations in Israel, the importance of these issues characters might be revisited in a sequel. Jeffrey Kauffman, in his review for Blu-Ray.com, describes these side stories as, "...the other two legs of this filmic trinity." However, Kauffman does note that the shared history between the characters, Shane and Eve, is not adequately explained. Conversely, Victor Medina's review for cinelix mentions an additional nine cut scenes from the Blu-ray disc, that would have provided more character development, but would have also slowed down the action.
