Backdraft (1991)

The Film Flamers: A Horror Movie Podcast

Backdraft is a 1991 American film that’s part crime thriller, part family drama, part love story, part bildungsroman, and part macho bullshit directed by Ron Howard and written by Gregory Widen. The stacked cast features Kurt Russell, William Baldwin, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Scott Glenn, Rebecca De Mornay, Robert De Niro, J. T. Walsh, and the late great Donald Sutherland. The film is about two estranged firefighter brothers who dodge flaming buildings and family therapy alike while unraveling an arson conspiracy hotter than their sibling rivalry.
