Trivia
Jennifer Connelly spent time with the real-life Amanda Marsh in preparation for her role.

Goofs
In the early part of the movie Brendon was kicked out of Matt's Saloon in Prescott. He then walked down the street and a horn of a train was heard in background. The last train to go through Prescott was in 1962.

Quotes
Duane Steinbrink: If you're looking for sympathy, the only place you're going to find it is in the dictionary, somewhere between shit and syphilis.

Crazy credits
Before the credits roll the real Granite Mountain Hotshots are shown along with the actors who portrayed them.

Alternate versions
The film's IMAX release presented the film open-matte, at an aspect ratio of 1.90:1, meaning there was more picture information visible in the top and bottom of the frame than in normal theaters and on home video.

A Towering Inferno meets The Tree of Life

"Based on the true story of the Granite Mountain Hotshots, a group of elite firefighters who risk everything to protect a town from a historic wildfire."

First rate intense performances with few exceptions from all the main players.

This is a gut-wrenching yet compelling drama.

As the concluding credits are about to start the roll call at the end reveals the real bravery of those being portrayed:

9/10.
