Trapped in a horrendous factory fire that might kill him, a fireman (Joaquin Phoenix) looks back at his life, career and marriage while he waits for the remote possibility that his company -- Ladder 49 -- might rescue him, if they can just reach him in time. John Travolta plays Phoenix's fire chief and mentor, who's determined to keep his crew alive and well, with Jacinda Barrett co-starring as Phoenix's wife. Jay Russell directs.
