Stephen (Russell, Jiminy Glick In La-La Wood, Miracle) and Brian (Baldwin, Art Heist, Red Rover) are two brothers who are firefighters with America's toughest - the Chicago Fire Department. They are following in the footsteps of their late father, who was killed in the line of duty. The thing is, each brother is dealing with the tragedy in his own way. As they try to sort out their personal differences, they also have to contend with a deadly arsonist, one whose specialty is creating the most dangerous type of situation for a firefighter - a backdraft. The fire inspector, Donald Rimgale (Academy Award® and Golden Globe® winner De Niro, The Bridge Of San Luis Rey, Meet The Fockers), searches for clues in the aftermath of each fire. Written by former firefighter, Gregory Widen, "Backdraft" is helmed by Academy Award® winning director, Ron Howard, whose determination to put the audience right in the middle of the action has resulted in some of the most breathtaking firefighting scenes ever put on film.
