Leap of Faith is 1992 film starring Steve Martin as a fraudulent Christian faith healer named Jonas Nightengale who uses his revival meetings to bilk believers out of their money. He eventually sees the error of his ways. The story is similar to that of Peter Popoff, but it is unclear whether the film is based on his life. Steve Martin has said he based his performance on "the famous Christian charlatan Benny Hinn".
