Based on the true story of the Granite Mountain Hotshots, a group of elite firefighters risk everything to protect a town from a historic wildfire.
This profile of firefighters who risked their lives to battle monstrous blazes in the Southwest plays like a classic military story about soldiers from various walks of life who bond as brothers. They're a plausible and likable bunch, thanks to a slow build of their back stories, not to mention the outstanding cast headed by Josh Brolin and Jeff Bridges. - Three and a half stars
