Trapped
in a fire that looks likely to kill him, a fireman (Phoenix)
takes the opportunity to look back over his life, career
and marriage, while he waits for his company, Ladder
49, to rescue him, if they can... (Travolta plays Phoenix's
fire chief and mentor; Barrett plays his wife; Cooper
plays the "grunge" rocker that his wife was
dating before him; Hamlin plays Phoenix's daughter.

In

of the courage and never-say-die, daring-do of truly
heroic firefighters. |
