...ward. As they talk, each fire takes on its own mischievous personality, some quick and cagey, others plodding and stubborn. Despite the laughter, some fire fighters appear homesick. The constant, tortuous line at the only two available pay phones is full of long faces. After waiting for 2 1/2 hrs. to call his wife, one man is greeted by an answering machine, and his howls echo through the smoke as he storms back to his tent...

Walter Hill, the workmanlike directorial panderer who gave us such hyped-up schlock as 48 HRS and Streets of Fire takes credit for co-producing and co-writing, while Sixteen Candles and Breakfast Club leftover Michelle Manning directed...
