Movie Comments & Discussion
Having been a firefighter, I used to think "Backdraft" was tops, but "Ladder 49" gives the real view of what being a firefighter is all about. This gives the story of a fireman from his first day as a rookie, and follows him throughout his career. Actors and audience alike can not help but be moved by this presentation of the real life members of the fire department.
