I would recommend To End All Wars by PCA member Brian Godawa. Use it carefully because of graphic content. The basic plot line is this:

True story.
Allied POW's in Japanese prison camp in Kwai Valley.
Man makes choice not to become animalistic, but humane.
Plato as intro to gospel: what happens to just man if he enters the world? He will be crucified on a pole.
Small chapel outside of camp started by chaplain.
More men are instructed in gospel, better work becomes.
Opposed by "natural man," soldier who chooses sin over grace.
Natural man runs afoul of the camp, is to be executed.
Chaplain offers himself in place, is crucified while camp director sputters "superstition" in his face.

Much more, but it gives a powerful analogy for the cross: Greater love. Even if all you did was show the pertinent scenes.
