The heat is on...and time is running out. Howie Long, Hollywood's hottest new action hero, stars with Scott Glenn, William Forsythe and Suzy Amis in a searing, pulse-pounding, edge-of-your-seat adventure. "The match is lit." These chilling words speak a deadly chain of events when a prison break pits fearless smokejumper Jesse Graves (Long) against two devastating, seemingly unstoppable forces of nature: a raging inferno and a cunning, psychotic killer. Packed with spectacular stunts, scorching suspense and a cast that'll blow you away, Firestorm blazes with "red-hot action." (Good Day Sacramento)
 
"Howie Long scores as a hero...The most spectacular fire scenes since Backdraft."  Jeanne Wolfe's Hollywood
"...Red-hot action."  Good Day Sacramento
"Firestorm is a raging, nonstop, technical marvel, and it delivers the goods."  San Francisco Examiner
"Rages with adventurous appeal."  Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times

 


Editor's Note

Sinister convicts revolt when their prison work detail is dispatched to battle a roaring wildfire. But their carefully conceived escape plan doesn't account for skilled "smoke jumper" Jesse Graves, who parachutes in to mete out justice and rescue their hostages. A by-the-numbers debut for both former football defenseman Long, in his first leading role, and former cinematographer Semler.

Professional Reviews
Los Angeles Times
"...It moves as fast as the raging forest fire it captures so spectacularly well....It has big-screen panache in its stunts, camerawork and special effects..." 01/16/1998 p.C16

San Francisco Examiner 8 of 10
Firestorm is a raging, nonstop, technical marvel, and it delivers the goods like a successful science project: by the numbers, using the Scientific Method. Trouble is, it has cardboard characters, contrived situations and slim plotting. The result is a Movie with a capital "M" - an amazing piece of derring-do that merely goes down well with your popcorn. There's a lot of technical firepower behind this movie, so perhaps its visual wowie isn't so surprising. It's directed by Dean Semler, who won an Academy Award for his cinematography on Dances With Wolves. - G. Allen Johnson
 
Box Office Magazine 7 of 10
As part of a three-picture deal with Fox following his debut in Broken Arrow, ex-Raider Howie Long is up to his neck in multiple stunt situations as he portrays a fearless smokejumper who doesn't know the meaning of the word "can't". When a freak fire sparks, he goes to investigate and unknowingly becomes a thorn in the side of a ruthless escaped convict, Shaye (The Rock's William Forsythe), who has gone to great lengths to be reunited with over $30 million...The thrilling part of the film is watching the well-executed depiction of the furiously raging fire that seems to have full access to the elemental forces in mother nature's arsenal. - Dwayne E. Leslie
