Ladder 49
|
by jay russell
Starring: Joaquin Phoenix, John Travolta, Jacinda Barrett, Billy Burke, Jay Hernandez
|
Tagline: Their greatest fight... is saving one of their own.
What does it take to be the man who runs headlong into a burning building when everyone else is trying to get out?
Ladder 49 is a moving look at how extraordinary heroes emerge out of ordinary lives, relationships and dreams. Set against a busy Baltimore engine company, the film peers into the private world of a typical urban firehouse and exposes the often hidden human element that lies behind the familiar headlines of firefighters battling furious blazes.
It does so by probing one emblematic fireman's story - from his gonzo drive to join the brotherhood of firefighters and his first encounter with the woman who will become the love of his life; to the harrowing shifts that keep him from home, the conflicting emotions that grip him as he starts a family and the bold rescues that are the job's true reward.
A starkly intimate homage to the everyday sacrifices of firefighters, Ladder 49 also reveals that behind every person who selflessly saves lives are many others who make it possible.
