Backdraft
1991
A blast of flames can take a life ... and hide a secret. Fireman brothers William Baldwin and Kurt Russell battle each other over past slights while trying to stop an arsonist from torching Chicago as part of a diabolical agenda. Co-starring Robert De Niro, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Donald Sutherland, director Ron Howard's epic tale will thrill you with incredible effects.
One breath of oxygen and it explodes in a deadly rage.
