If you loved Ladder 49, try Backdraft

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Theysit in Action / Drama / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to Ladder 49, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Backdraft is

Chicago firehouse, sirens blaring, a burning building. Two brothers clash, flames engulf a neighborhood, a puzzling arson trail. This film lands best on a lazy Sunday afternoon.
