Loosely based on The life of Paul 'Red' Adair who was also the technical advisor on the pyrotechnics of the firefighting and John Wayne taking the modern day role seriously actually made this worth watching and enjoyable. One I'd certainly return to.

Did you watch the Indicator Blu? Does it look spectacular?

It's ages since i last saw this on dvd and thought it merely okay to very dull with great firefighting sequences.
