Father Stu

Based on true events, The Miracle of Father Stu is an honest and exemplary drama about a lost soul who finds meaning in his life in the most unexpected places. When an injury ends his career as an amateur boxer, Stuart Long (Mark Wahlberg) moves to Los Angeles with dreams of being an actor. While fending for himself as a supermarket clerk, he meets Carmen (Teresa Ruiz), a Catholic Sunday school teacher who seems immune to his bad boy appearance. Determined to win her over, the lifelong agnostic starts going to church to impress her. But after surviving a horrific motorcycle accident, he begins to question whether he can give his life a second chance by helping others find their way, leading him to realize that he is destined to be a Catholic priest. Despite a devastating health crisis and skepticism from Church members and his estranged parents (Mel Gibson and Jacki Weaver), Stu pursues his calling with courage and compassion, inspiring not only those closest to him, but to many others with whom he crosses the road.
