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. [More]

Reviews for Firestorm
...boasts an old-fashioned sensibility that benefits from several surprisingly thrilling set pieces...
No one should mistake Firestorm for a "quality" motion picture. It's not, and it wasn't designed to be.
In movies, as in life, you take your warmth where you can find it, but this particular wienie roast is bound to leave you cold.
