Miracles from Heaven is a 2016 American Christian drama film directed by Patricia Riggen and written by Randy Brown. It is based on Miracles from Heaven by Christy Beam, which recounts the true story of her young daughter who had a near-death experience and was later cured of an incurable disease. The film stars Jennifer Garner, Kylie Rogers, Martin Henderson, John Carroll Lynch, Eugenio Derbez, and Queen Latifah. Principal photography began in Atlanta, Georgia, in July 2015. The film was released on March 16, 2016. The movie was a major financial success, and although critical reception was mixed, Garner's performance earned general praise.
Set in Burleson, Texas, in 2011, the film centers on a 10-year-old girl named Anna Beam, daughter of Christy Beam. Anna finds herself sick, though upon checking at the local hospital, the doctors find no signs of illness, but say it's "acid reflux" or "lactose intolerance", though Christy is not convinced by this. She finally finds a pediatrician in a local Texas hospital that is able to diagnose Anna with an abdominal obstruction, and he tells them he must operate immediately or she will die. Though they had hoped this would repair the problem, the doctor explains that Anna has been left with pseudo-obstruction motility disorder and she is unable to eat, so feeding tubes are needed for her nutrition. The doctor then tells the Beams about America's foremost pediatric gastroenterologist, Dr. Nurko, who practices in Boston, but explains it could take months for them to be seen. Christy and Anna travel to Boston despite not having an appointment with the doctor.
