Religious cons take advantage of the incurable human need for faith beyond the mundane
Leap of Faith (1992) tackles the topic of a fraudulent traveling evangelist/faith healer played by Steve Martin. One of the trucks of his religious circus breaks down in a small town in Kansas and Jonas Nightingale (Martin) promptly takes advantage of the situation by holding a camp meeting. Debra Winger plays his assistant while Liam Neeson is on hand as the skeptical sheriff who smells a con. Lolita Davidovich plays a waitress Jonas sets his eyes on while Lukas Haas appears as her crippled brother. Jonas team includes the likes of Meat Loaf and Philip Seymour Hoffman.
This is a drama and not a comedy and owes a bit to the likes of The Music ...
