A high-octane action thriller that uses a forest fire as both literal backdrop and cover for a prison-escape heist, balancing rescue heroics with criminal intrigue.

Firefighter Jesse Graves has to save ornithologist Jennifer and other people caught in a forest fire, which was set up by the lawyer of convicted killer Earl Shaye, who escaped from the prison with several of his inmates posing as firefighters to recover $37,000,000 in stashed loot.
