Backdraft is a 1991 action thriller directed by Ron Howard. It follows the story of two firefighting brothers, Brian and Stephen McCaffrey, who have a strained relationship due to a tragic incident that occurred in their childhood. Stephen is a seasoned firefighter who has always lived in the shadow of his younger, more reckless brother, Brian.
When a series of deadly fires break out in Chicago, Brian and Stephen are tasked with investigating and stopping the arsonist responsible. As they work together, tensions rise between them as they confront their troubled past and try to put aside their differences to catch the arsonist.
The arsonist, known as "The Night Rider," is a master at starting fires and taunts the firefighters by choosing buildings that are difficult to extinguish. As the death toll rises and the pressure mounts, Brian and Stephen race against time to unmask the arsonist before more lives are lost.
The film features a star-studded cast, including Kurt Russell as Brian McCaffrey, William Baldwin as Stephen McCaffrey, and Robert De Niro as Donald Rimgale, a veteran arson investigator. Backdraft is known for its realistic depictions of firefighting and intense action sequences, including a memorable scene where firefighters are trapped in a burning building.
