Paul, Apostle of Christ is a 2018 American biblical drama film written and directed by Andrew Hyatt. The film tells the story of Paul, who was known as a ruthless persecutor of Christians, only to convert to the faith. The plot focuses on him more than his friend Luke, a physician, who risks his life when he ventures into the city of Rome to visit Paul, who is held captive in Nero's darkest, bleakest prison cell. However, Nero is determined to rid Rome of Christians, and does not flinch from executing them in the horrid way. This film describes the struggle of two men against a determined emperor and the frailties of the human spirit in order to live out the Gospel of Jesus Christ and spread their message to the world.
