Amazon.com:
A somewhat contrived screenplay doesn't stop this thriller from serving up some of the most spectacular fire sequences ever committed to film. Like any Ron Howard production Backdraft is impressively slick and boasts a stellar cast, including Kurt Russell and William Baldwin. The actors play sibling rivals who have been at odds since the death of their firefighter father years earlier. Robert De Niro is the veteran fire inspector who is tracking a series of mysterious and deadly arsons, and Donald Sutherland is effectively creepy as the former arsonist who understands the criminal psychology of pyromaniacs. Rebecca De Mornay, Scott Glenn, and Jennifer Jason Leigh are featured in supporting roles. Backdraft is a triumph of stunt work and flaming special effects. --Jeff Shannon

- Reply to Gary F. TaylorNothing personal Mr. Gary F Taylor, but the condition they portray in the film IS a Backdraft. Maybe your father was a firefighter, that does not make you one, I AM a professional firefighter. A flashover is when the temperature of a room reaches the point that it causes all of the pyrolytic gasses of the contents of the room to spontaneously ignite, this usually occurs between 1000 and 1400 degrees F. A backdarft is a fire that has darkened down due to a lack of oxygen. When oxygen is suddenly introduced ... Read More
