The Work and the Glory film series consists of American period piece-historical fiction Christian-drama films, based on novels of the same name written by Gerald N. Lund. The plot centers around the fictional family named the Steeds, their experiences as early members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and their pioneering experiences with Joseph Smith.
The films were well received from critics within the religious target audience,[1][2][3][4] while it received a more critical response from the wider array of critics.[5][6][7][8] Though the movies were not financially successful in theaters, multi-millionaire Larry H. Miller continued with assisted funding to complete a trilogy of movies. The collection was later stated to have turned a profit, through their combined home video sales.[9]
