WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

In June 2013, a wildfire spreads across the plains of Yarnell, Arizona, and an elite group of firefighters led by Eric Marsh (Brolin) are certified to go in and tackle the fire head on before it can do any more damage, in a mission that would prove to be far more dangerous than any of them could have anticipated…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

If ever there were a reason to properly celebrate the courageous acts of firefighters in the face of danger, then it’s with this harrowing and heart-breaking ensemble piece that details the heroism of those who fought the Yarnell Hill Fire of 2013.
