This Chris_Soth screenplay is directed by Dean_Semler, the Oscar-winning Dances_With_Wolves cinematographer who also did cinematography for Waterworld and Last_Action_Hero. The film's action hero is Howie_Long (Broken_Arrow), Fox Sports commentator and former NFL star. Wyoming firefighter Jesse Graves (Long) leads a team of smoke-jumpers who parachute into forest fires. Inside a penitentiary, killer Earl Shaye (William_Forsythe) devises an escape plan in order to recover a hidden 37 million. He murders a fellow inmate and takes his place in a group of convicts headed out to fight a forest fire. They make an escape, pose as visiting Canadian firefighters, and are ready to look for the loot when retired firefighter Wynt (Scott_Glenn) discovers the escape. Shaye's group rescues trapped ornithologist Jennifer (Suzy_Amis, Titanic's Lizzy Calvert). Jesse parachutes in, but time is running out, since the original fire and the backfire will soon combine to create a firestorm. Filmed on location in British Columbia with fire-enhancement special effects by Chris_Corbould. Not to be confused with Firestorm: 2024 A.D. (1996) or Firestorm: 72 Hours in Oakland (1993).
