The Man Who Sued God is a 2001 Australian movie in which Billy Connolly plays Steve Myers, an ex-lawyer who sues God because his boat is struck by lightning, and his insurance company refuses to pay, claiming it to be an act of God. By claiming to be God's representatives on Earth, the Christian churches and Jewish synagogues are held to be the liable party, putting them in the difficult position of either having to pay out large sums of money, or prove that God does not exist.

Award-winning actress Judy Davis (who plays journalist Anna Redmond) is married to actor Colin Friels, who co-stars as Steve Myers's brother in the film.

The Man Who Sued God made over $7.7 million at the Australian Box Office, and made a debut at number one on the week of 21-28 October 2001.
