Where to watch Sound of Freedom

Jim Caviezel in Sound of Freedom.

If you're unfamiliar with Angel Studios' Sound of Freedom, it's because this is a rare film to make noise at the summer box office that isn't getting released by one of the primary studios. As noted by Variety, the film has made over $40 million since it opened in theaters on July 4th.

Person of Interest and The Passion of the Christ star Jim Caviezel headlines the film as Tim Ballard, a former Homeland Security agent who founded Operation Underground Railroad, an organization dedicated to fighting child trafficking around the world. The film purports to be based on a true story based on Ballard's mission to save children from sex traffickers in Colombia.

Where to watch Oppenheimer in 70mm IMAX

Oppenheimer is finally here. As one-half of the now-famous "Barbenheimer" pop culture event, the Christopher Nolan movie has received an unusual amount of advance hype and breathless anticipation for a three-hour movie about the birth of the atom bomb. I'm not complaining though; any amount of additional press concentrating on the movie can only be a good thing, and is poised to turn the original drama into an unexpected summertime hit.

5 movies to watch if you like Sound of Freedom

Oppenheimer, Barbie, and Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One are generating all the buzz on the summer movie schedule -- and rightfully so. However, a smaller film that continues to impress at the box office is Sound of Freedom. In its fourth weekend, the independent film grossed $19.8 million domestically, bringing its total to $124 million. With a budget of $14.5 million, Sound of Freedom is easily one of the sleeper hits of 2023

From Angel Studios, Sound of Freedom stars Jim Caviezel as Tim Ballard, a former special agent for Homeland Security Investigations who embarks on a mission to find a young girl abducted by child traffickers in the Colombian jungle. The film is based on the true story of Ballard and the creation of the anti-sex-trafficking organization known as Operation Underground Railroad. If you enjoyed Sound of Freedom, you'll like these five movies, which are about similarly complex and disturbing issues such as human-trafficking and sex crimes.
