The synopsis of this film gave the impression that it would be an action packed story of Forest Firefighters, with thrilling scenes of this catastrophic fire and the men involved. It turned out to be more of a soap opera. Fires were mentioned but not seen. The fire in which the 14 men mentioned lost thier lives took up all of the last 15 minutes of the film and you never even saw the smoke!!!! I would have thought at least a roll call of the men who lost their lives or a dedication but there wasn't even that. For and action film, don't waste your time. There are better. If it tried to be a 'family film' it failed there too. Boring was the best way to describe it and I advise to leave it on the shelf
