Leap of Faith

Leap of Faith (1992) is an American comedy-drama you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Richard Pearce and starring Steve Martin in a career-against-type role as a smooth-talking fraudulent revivalist.

Jonas Nightingale runs a miracle show on wheels: a rigged audio feed, a gospel choir on the payroll, and fake healings staged to the second. His manager Jane (Debra Winger) feeds him intel through an earpiece while his truck full of equipment transforms any parking lot into a tent cathedral. When the convoy breaks down in a small Kansas town gutted by factory closures, Jonas sees easy prey. What he doesn't plan for is the town itself — or the fact that something real might interrupt the performance.

Liam Neeson plays the local sheriff, Lucas Haas a limping teenager who becomes a test of Jonas's own cynicism. The film works as both a sharp-eyed look at revival-circuit business and an oddly honest story about a con man who runs out of excuses. Stream Leap of Faith (1992) online on iFILM.
