Cokeville, Wyoming, a town of just over 500 people, made national headlines in 1986 when a madman and his wife entered the elementary school with guns and a bomb. They gathered 154 children and teachers into a small room, and made a demand: $200 million dollars for the lives of the children—but then the bomb went off.

The Cokeville Miracle is not just the story of a hostage crisis, or a terror attack on American soil. It is not just the story of a bomb that could have destroyed an entire generation, and ripped a town apart. The Cokeville Miracle is about what happened instead. How did a bomb that should have leveled the room take only two lives that day? Each child, each adult who made it out of that room has a story to tell. Follow the Sheriff's investigator Ron Hartley as he pieces together the evidence, including stories of prayer and divine intervention from multiple witnesses. Gather the evidence and decide for yourself. Do you see coincidence, or do you see miracles? (Screengrab via YouTube)

The Cokeville Miracle stars NATHAN STEVENS (Punch Drunk Love, The Good Humor Man) and JASEN WADE (17 Miracles, Saints and Soldiers: Airborne Creed). Rated PG-13 for thematic material including violence and peril.
