You'll never look at a campfire the same again.
yet another heart-breaker movie.. unexpectable and break my heart in the end .. i wish there would be another ending... lol
A good action movie where firefighters go in search of an arsonist. Shows what an everyday firefighter could go through in order to protect us.
A truly dramatic film, with stellar performances by the entire cast. Possesses all the elements that define a classic.
This movie was made, I watched it, and then I fell in love with fire fighters :)
"Backdraft" is a movie about two brothers (Kurt Russell & William Baldwin) who's father got killed trying to fight a fire a few years earlier. They end up being on the same firefighting team and they don't have the best relationship in the world. They must try to quit fighting ov...( read more)
Anything that Ron Howard directs is always a hit. I loved this movie because I felt it gave me some insight into the lives of fire fighters.
This is a great action film about a group of firefighters trying to stop a arsonist. The film has a decent story and some good action sequences. The film has a great cast starring Robert DeNiro, Kurt Russell, Donald Sutherland, William Baldwin, Scott Glenn, Jennifer Jason Leigh a...( read more)
Saw it as a kid, forgot for about 10 years, saw it again, liked it even more, the best firefighter movie ever, also makes you wish you were a firefighter, minus the getting stabbed in the stomach by a pipe....
If you are married or dating a fireman, do NOT see this movie...too sad, but really good.
This was an excellent movie, two brothers torn, but the luv, oldie but a goodie
Can a movie made me wanna buy, a fire alarm and pull.. the alarms at the same time... Man this one made me cry too.
nearly 20 years after it came out, backdraft is still a great movie. it makes me want to never open a door...ever.
An interesting story with an interesting cast.
The special effects making the fire seems alive are very well done.
Thought to check it out as it was by Ron Howard, but now I wish I'd better not done that.
With such a great cast you would think it would have been easy to make a great movie. But like the Da Vinci Code Ron Howard lacks the balls. Still some great moments and an interesting story.
Movie was great and the firefighting scenes were awesome. I loved how they explained how fire works.
I loved this movie when I was younger but haven't seen it in a really long time.
A good movie but a lot of Hollywood B.S. if your going to watch it also watch Ladder 49
Kurt Russel is his own father. That is just awesome. Oh, and fires growl when angered.
The script was average, not bad, but saved by brilliant direction, solid acting and great action. The music was done very well and suited the film, props to Hans Zimmer for yet another great score. The cinematography was also very good, especially in the fire scenes.
I heard it was a great movie about firefighters.... no, its really not a great anything.
When you are a firefighter,you support your brothers.Alec Baldwin and Kurt Russell play two brothers who face the blazes and try to catch a deviant among their group.
