In the midst of battling a fire inside a burning building, a firefigher becomes trapped when the floor collapses. While the Fire Chief tries to orchestrate his rescue, the firefighter looks back on his life and remembers the important moments that made him who he is today. As the rescue team closes in, the only question is whether this will be the last fire he will ever fight.
Even though the timing of this movie seemed to capitalize on the outpouring of support for firefighters following 9/11, this was a genuinely good film. The concept wasn't completely original, but the script was compelling, emotional, suspenseful and full of action. Joaquin Phoenix and John Travolta were perfect for their parts which made the whole story very believable and flow nicely. After watching this movie, you can't help but feel tremendous respect and admiration for the men and women who risk their lives to protect others.
Rating: 4 of 5 stars
