Backdraft 2
Directed by Gonzalo López-Gallego
Produced by Title Media, Universal 1440 Entertainment
A procedural crime-action thriller about a firefighter investigating arson, grounded in institutional loyalty and family legacy but driven more by plot mechanics than deep character work.
Years after the original Backdraft, Sean, son of the late Steve "Bull" McCaffrey, is assigned to investigate a deadly fire only to realize it is something much more sinister.
