Praybeyt Benjamin is the first Filipino film to break the P300 million mark in the box office.

In the present day, Benjamin "Benjie" Santos VIII is a dance instructor who lives with his parents and sisters, Jesamine and Anjamin.

His grandfather, Benjamin "Bino" VI, unaware that he is gay, expects him to enlist in the army like his ancestors.

Benjie's father, Benjamin "Ben" VII, gave up being a soldier to become a scientist and an inventor, going against his grandfather's wishes.

A terrorist organization, Bandidos International, starts coordinated attacks and a civil war and kidnaps Benjie's grandfather and other high-ranking officials.

While traveling through a wooded area, Benjie and his friends accidentally stumble upon Bandidos International's base.

They return to the army training camp to inform the Commanding General, but the official refuses to believe them.

The closing credits are interrupted by Captain Tenille telling General Santos that the president of the Philippines is summoning the country's bravest soldiers.

[citation needed] The television trailer for Praybeyt Benjamin premiered during the talk show Gandang Gabi, Vice!, announcing its release on October 12, 2011.

It broke Philippine box-office records after grossing PHP 109 million on its fourth day.

Although Praybeyt Benjamin is one of the highest-grossing of all time in the Philippines, its reviews ranged from mixed to negative.

However, many reviewers noted that the film's saving grace was the sharp comedic timing of Vice Ganda and the brilliant comic performance of Nikki Valdez.

However, filming for the sequel was delayed due the COVID-19 pandemic as well as uncertainties caused by the non-renewal of ABS-CBN's broadcast franchise.
