Two Chicago firefighter brothers, who don't get along, have to work together while a dangerous arsonist is on the loose.
"Although it is almost as interesting a profession as police officers and journalists, firefighters seem forgotten in the world cinema landscape. There are only a few comedies ('Playing with Fire', 'The Firemen's Ball') and one or two interesting dramas ('Courage Under Fire'). And one of the most famous examples, without a doubt, is 'Backdraft', a production that mixes drama and action in equal measures under the direction of filmmaker Ron Howard ('A Beautiful Mind', 'Apollo 13'). Here, we follow two firefighter brothers who must join forces to unravel a series of criminal fires that arise in the city where they live. It is a fun movie that helps pass the time, in addition to having an unusual dramatic charge. However, those looking to see a little more of the day-to-day life of firefighters may be disappointed. After all, there is more fiction than truth."
