THE SECOND COMING (2002)

Cast

Plot

Steve Baxter is found wandering the moors after 40 days and 40 nights, almost incoherent but utterly convinced that he is the son of God. Where this story takes a twist is that Steve, far from a slavering loon, really is the son of God and in order to convince a sceptical world he performs a miracle. Steve's mission is to save humanity from a fast impending Judgement Day, no easy task, regardless of who your dad is. The Second Coming is a fine drama from the writer of ‘Queer As Folk', thought provoking, at times nail-biting, and with a cracking central performance from Eccleston. For all faiths, and none.
