1833年11月，在美国密苏里洲原本平静生活的平民百姓经历了一场大风波。对这逼近的冲突，一个有抱负的年轻人勇敢地和一名脆弱的前领导人进行抗争。

Joshua Steed returns to Missouri a wealthy man with a beautiful wife; however, the past has a way of catching up. Soon Joshua is tangled in a web of rumors, deception and betrayal that threatens to tear his family apart. Back in Kirtland, financial trouble riddles the foundations of the fledgling Church causing a division, and questioning of the Prophet Joseph Smith's divine calling. Has he lost his prophetic gift? Hundreds of Saints immigrate to Missouri, where Governor Boggs raises an army - with Joshua at its head - to address the "Mormon Problem." When the militia receives orders to attack the Mormon settlement, only Joshua can save his family from the gathering mob.

伊斯兰艺术博物馆占地4万5平方，简洁的白色石灰石，以几何式的方式叠加成伊斯兰的风格建筑，中央的穹顶连接起不同的空间，古朴且自然。博物馆内收集并保存了来自世界各地的各种伊斯兰艺术品，它们来自三大洲，横跨了7世纪到19世纪的时间长河。为了表现伊斯兰建筑的本质，贝聿铭在中东考察了好几个月，研读穆罕默德的理论，亲自到埃及，突尼斯等地采风。由于担心这个博物馆会被周围环境所淹没，他请求卡塔尔的王储为其建立一个独立的岛。博物馆内部还有图书馆、餐厅等功能空间，在其盛大的开馆仪式上，还请来了中国著名音乐家马友友表演。
