The Man Who Sued God
- Rating:
- Director:
- Starring: Billy Connolly
- Details: Aus / 98 mins / (PG).
Outraged when his insurance company fail to pay out on the 'act-of-God' lightning strike that destroys his boat, fisherman Connolly decides to take The Man Upstairs to court. Cue fiendish cynicism from the various insurance companies and churches involved, although the story falls back on sentimentality in the end.
