**½
Director: Ron Howard
Cast: Kurt Russell, William Baldwin, Robert De Niro, Jennifer Jason Leigh

While a nasty arsonist is creating terror in Chicago, two firefighting brothers try to get over their differences. This melodrama has impressive special effects, but not much more. Donald Sutherland and Robert De Niro give nice supporting performances.
