What they share
Both films are directed by Michael Apted, and they sit in Drama / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to Extreme Measures, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Firstborn is
Chicago, 1952. A transistor radio buzzes on a kitchen sill. The radio’s owner, Jake, shouldered man-of-the-house weight since his parents split—until Mom lets Sam claim the same throne with get-rich schemes. Then Jake learns what Sam’s scheming really costs.
