Eric Marsh is superintendent of the Granite Mountain Hotshots, an elite crew of wildland firefighters. Eric and his troubled young recruit Brendan are not the only members of the crew who struggle to balance their dangerous and all-encompassing work with their family lives. Joseph Kosinski blends real life events, good old-fashioned storytelling, great character work, strong performances, and seamless special effects into a gripping and moving 2-hour drama. Based on the GQ article No Exit by Sean Flynn.
