Ladder 49
Stirring drama chronicles Baltimore firefighter Jack Morrison (Joaquin Phoenix) as he makes the transition from inexperienced rookie to seasoned veteran. As he struggles to cope with a risky, demanding job that makes him a hero to strangers but often short changes his wife (Jacinda Barrett) and kids, he relies on the support of his mentor and chief, Mike Kennedy (John Travolta) and his second family - the brotherly bond between the men of the firehouse. But when Jack becomes trapped in the worse blaze of his career, his life and the things he holds most important - family, duty, courage - come sharply into focus. As his fellow firemen of Ladder 49 do all they can do to rescue him, Jack's life hangs in the balance.
