Who Sued Godmovie | 2001 - The Man

(2001) is a quirky Australian comedy that leans heavily on its provocative premise: if an insurance company can legally deny a claim as an "act of God," then God (and His earthly representatives) should be legally liable for the damages. The Premise

The story follows Steve Myers ( Billy Connolly ), a disillusioned former lawyer who has retired to a quiet life as a fisherman in Bermagui. When a freak lightning strike destroys his boat, his insurance company refuses to pay, citing an "Act of God" clause. Enraged, Steve files a lawsuit against God, naming the leaders of major religious institutions as His legal representatives. This forced "representatives" into a corner: to win, they must either pay the claim or prove in court that God does not exist. The Man Who Sued God - Rotten Tomatoes The Man Who Sued GodMovie | 2001
