BACKDRAFT (Theatrical Release USA 1991)

 Ben Meyers’ Rating: 4.4|5.0 Starsìììì 

Backdraft may not be in the A-grade category, but the special effects are rave-able. The movie has an all-star cast and a multi-layered storyline that moves along well.  Watch for a cameo appearance by Clint Howard, Director Ron Howard’s brother.
