Richard Foreman/Courtesy of Sony Pictures The men, women who loved them, and their children were essentially a giant family.Josh Brolin stars as Eric Marsh, supervisor of a wilderness firefighting team, in the new film Only The Brave. Their private lives were deeply interconnected with their work lives. The Granite Mountain Hotshots were dedicated to their families and each other. Where Only the Brave excels is the personal story. He sells the brutal training and hellish conditions of forest fires. You can almost feel the heat in scene after scene of raging flames. The fire scenes in Only the Brave are incredible. They endeavored to earn hotshot status, and make a difference in their community.ĭirector Joseph Kosinksi ( Tron: Legacy) knows how to make a special effects film. These men, along with the rest of the Prescott crew, transcended their weaknesses collectively. No one had been willing to give him a chance, but Marsh was different. He approaches Marsh for a job on his fuels crew. Not wanting to relive the failures of his father, McDonough decides to get his life on track. His ex-girlfriend is pregnant, but wants nothing to do with him. A drug addict and petty thief, McDonough gets a wake up call. Miles Teller co-stars as Brendan "Donut" McDonough. These were the frontline firefighters called in at a moments notice. Marsh, an elite firefighter with years of experience, wants his crew certified as "hotshots". A "fuels crew" cleared out brush and growth to prevent wildfires from spreading. The story begins with Eric "Supe" Marsh ( Josh Brolin) running the "fuels crew" for the city of Prescott in Arizona. Only the Brave is the film adaptation of the Granite Mountain Hotshots. It reminds us of the sacrifice others make to ensure public safety. This film will hit you like a punch to the gut. It is a tale of brotherhood, loyalty, and valor under the most extreme duress. Only the Brave is a fitting tribute to the men who fought the Yarnell Hill Fire. Thirty-one are confirmed dead with entire neighborhoods lost, including the homes of the first responders and firefighters battling the fiery inferno. As I write this review, CNN is broadcasting from the horrific wildfires in Northern California. The story of the Granite Mountain Hotshots is as pertinent today as it was in 2013.
