History Film / Courageous

Another Christian drama from Sherwood Pictures Ministry (the same people who made ''FIREPROOF'' and ''FacingTheGiants''), ''Courageous'' is about four policemen who are trying to bust up a local drug ring. After the Sheriff reveals a link between fatherless children and criminal activity later in life and a horrible incident occurs in one of their families, the story shifts to the policemen taking up the Sheriff's challenge to be better fathers. As the story unfolds, each of the police officers [[spoiler: with perhaps one exception]] is shown striving to be the best father he can be according to the Bible.

* BadButt: Do to being a Christian film, the cops are often shown doing pretty spectacular things, minus the profanity and the smoking, drinking etc.

* AnAesop: This being a Christian drama it’s inevitable, and [[YourMileageMayVary some would say]] a bit {{Anvilicious}}. Then again, [[YourMileageMayVary maybe]] SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped.

* LawfulGood: Most of the cops, specifically Nathan Hayes, is type 3. This is demonstaited when [[spoiler: the teen gangmember]] is taken into custody and put in a facility but we see that

* TheIdealist: [[Foil In contrast]] to [[TheCynic Shane Fuller]], Nathan Hayes is often this to the group. Somewhat of a {{Reconstruction}} of the trope, as he's definitely looking on the bright side, but he's also not sitting back waiting for good things to happen.
