Trivia
Noah Dalton Danby, the actor who played Nephi, had never read the Book of Mormon before making this film. Before the end of the project, he was preparing for baptism and dating Jacque Gray, the actress who played Terza, Nephi's Wife.

Goofs
Nephi (among others) is clean-shaven in 6th-century B.C. Jerusalem. Jewish males of the time were forbidden to trim their beards, much less remove them.

Quotes
Nephi: Did you get the plates?
Laman: Does it look like I have the plates. They were trying to kill me!

Alternate versions
The boat does not appear in the theatrical version of the scene in which the family arrives in the promised land. It was digitally added to that scene for the DVD version.

could have been better

Not a believable story, not inspiring at all. I am a Mormon, and I was disappointed with this movie. I do not know even where to begin! The clothes that they wore looked like they had just taken them out of the box, poor acting, poor directing. The book is much better than the movie! I guarantee, if they had a 20 million-dollar budget, a decent director, and a few good writers, I would have been inspired to watch it again and again. There were times when I watched it, I couldn't wait to leave. The director took too many creative "liberties" and put things into the movie that weren't true. When they were on the boat, it looked like buckets of water were being thrown on them. The beards looked fake, these people should have waited and done it right before making this movie. I would hope that someone, like a good Mormon director like Richard Dutcher, would tell these people to stop and let me take over. I will not see this again. It was a disappointment and a waste of my time. Shame on them!
