A new trailer has emerged online for Left Behind, in which Nic Cage (playing the excellently-named pilot, Rayford Steele) finds himself among the unlucky souls left on Earth during the Rapture.

For those of you not particularly au fait with the notion of the Rapture, it’s basically the point at which God calls up all the good Christians into heaven, leaving everyone else to fend for themselves.

Predictably, those left behind have soon turn Earth into a post-apocalyptic nightmare, leaving Cage and his daughter trying to figure out how they’re going to follow his wife and son into the white light…

Take a look at the new trailer, below…

This one certainly seems something of an oddity, an action movie in which God is presented as both hero and villain, with a couple of plane crashes thrown in for good measure. We’re intrigued in any case!

Directed by Vic Armstrong and co-starring Lea Thompson, Chad Michael Murray and Cassi Thomson, Left Behind opens in the US on 3 October 2014, with a UK date to be confirmed.
