Backdraft (1991)
Country: US
Technical: col 136m
Director: Ron Howard
Cast: Kurt Russell, William Baldwin, Robert de Niro, Donald Sutherland, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Rebecca De Mornay, Scott Glenn
Synopsis:
An arsonist threatens Chicago and two feuding firefighter brothers must learn to get along.
Review:
Oddly old-fashioned entertainment (memories of Hellfighters or Strategic Air Command), showing good old American professionals risking their lives in the line of duty. The fire effects were the thing, having moved on since The Towering Inferno, but the story is too flimsy for the two and a quarter hour hanging room.
