Heaven Is For Real stars Greg Kinnear as Todd Burpo and co-stars Kelly Reilly as Sonja Burpo, the real-life couple whose son Colton (newcomer Connor Corum) experiences Heaven during emergency surgery. Colton recounts the details of his amazing journey with childlike innocence. He describes Heaven in vivid detail, and speaks matter-of-factly about things that happened before his birth things he couldnt possibly know. Todd is called upon by his congregation to explain the meaning of Coltons revelations, and he and his family are challenged to examine their faith and draw meaning from this remarkable event.
