Posted byRobert K Stephen (CSW)Posted infilmTags:, , , , , , , , ,

If you loved “Towering Inferno” with McQueen and Newman you might enjoy “On Fire” a rather topical wildfire disaster film. It might be that reality of all these wildfires ravaging the globe and all the eyewitness and harrowing accounts have overtaken the fiction of “On Fire” but nonetheless it just may have your little heart pit pattering with excitement and tension. And it is cheese but you like cheese fondue don’t you? Dave (Peter Facinelli, Sarah (Fiona Dourif) Clay (Asher Angel) and George (Lance Henriksen) are a family trapped by a rapidly advancing wildfire. Dave and his pregnant wife Sarah along with their son Clay and cranky George, Dave’s father, run like bats out of hell and they all make it….right?

Pure cheese and the actual wildfire footage melts it and the poor family perishes…right? Typically feel good disaster movie…right? Or are we headed to a crispy finish!

Director is Peter Facinelli. Theatrical release on September 29.
