John Wayne stars as Chance Buckman, a hard-living, fearless oil-well firefighter who leads a rugged crew through dangerous infernos around rigs and desert towns. Based on Red Adair's real-life exploits, the film follows perilous assignments, tight crew dynamics, and a strained personal life as Wayne's steady presence anchors daring rescues, tense negotiations, and explosive moments under searing heat. A gritty, action-driven tribute to the professionals who battle flame and risk everything.
