\u201cThere is a young man, different from other young men. Ancient prophecies foretell his coming, and he performs miraculous feats. Eventually, confronted by his enemies, he must sacrifice his own life\u2014an act that saves mankind from calamity\u2014but in a mystery as great as that of his origin, he is reborn, to preside in glory over a world redeemed. Tell this story to one of the world\u2019s 2 billion Christians, and he\u2019ll recognize it instantly. Tell it to a science-fiction and fantasy fan, and he\u2019ll ask why you\u2019re making minor alterations to the plot of The Matrix<\/em> or Superman Returns<\/em>.
