We meet the group before they’ve certified as an elite hotshot crew and follow them for several fire seasons leading up to the fatal Yarnell Hill Fire in 2013. It’s a heartfelt and straightforward look at how much the men and their families give back to communities all over the Southwest, with a welcome touch of restraint in the telling of a true story.
Only the Brave follows a different path and showcases what the firefighters of the Granite Mountain Hotshots save, more so than what wildfires destroy. Given the current news out of California, no one requires another reminder of fire’s destructive power. Natural disaster films tend to heavily feature…well, natural disasters, milking destruction and personal loss for as much drama as possible.
There are those who worry that Only the Brave, the latest film by director Joseph Kosinski, hits theaters at an inopportune time.
