This movie was not what I was expecting. I knew it was about people in planes fighting firers; and there is a love story involved. However I did not expect the love story to come off the way it did. Firefighting in the early days, after WWII was a scary business. The fires sometime could look as bad as WWII bombing; but the pilots persisted. This movie features four actors:
Richard Dreyfuss As Pete Sandich
Holly Hunter as Dorinda Durston
Brad Johnson as Ted Baker
John Goodman as Al Yackey
directed by Steven Spielberg
Yackey and Sandich are best friends. Durston is Sandich's girl, who worries about the danger he puts himself in. Turns our Yackey gets too close to a fire, and puts his plane on fire. However Sandich saves him by dumping his load on the flames. He gets our, but in doing so his own fuel tank blows up, killing him. This movie ends up being an after life film, with Sandich using his influence to motivate others. Audrey Hepburn has a cameo as the lady managing the gates to heaven.
