A reclusive genius attempts to end the world's oil addiction by inventing the first-ever magnetic engine, only to find the demons of his past threatening to derail his search for a new form of renewable energy in director Michael P. Nash's paranoid conspiracy thriller. When Dan Tort (Dave Buzzotta) first hatched his plan for a magnetic engine, he thought that the masses would thrill at the prospect of a having an alternative energy source to power their automobiles. Little did he realize that the Military Industrial Complex wouldn't take such a shine to his brilliant invention, and that they'd soon be using every means at their disposal to prevent his plan from being made public. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

In the third installment of the series that began with The Prophecy, the Angel Gabriel (Christopher Walken) has taken up residence on Earth, where he's learned to enjoy the simple pleasures of life among humans, such as frosted doughnuts and driving a convertible. One night, he witnesses Danyael (Dave Buzzotta), a heretic preacher with a storefront church who tells his flock that God doesn't care much for the people who tend the Earth. A blind man (Brad Dourif) who claims to hear the voice of God shoots Danyael several times in the chest. However, several hours after he's pronounced dead, Danyael rises from his slab at the morgue and heads out into the street. Maggie (Kayren Ann Butler), his understandably upset girlfriend, is then approached by Zouhael (Vincent Spano), a fallen angel who needs Danyael for his own evil purposes. It seems that Danyael is half human and half angel, and both Gabriel and Zouhael want his help. A Spirit of genocide and destruction is about to rise on a Native American reservation, and if Gabriel is going to stop it -- or Zouhael is going to bring it forward -- they will need Danyael's guidance. Prophecy 3: The Ascent marked the directorial debut of Patrick Lussier, who has often worked as an editor for horror director Wes Craven. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
