Trailer : Backdraft 2

Boom! Moviehole was the first to tell you about Universal Home Entertainment’s “Backdraft” sequel, roughly a year go, and now..the explosive trailer.

The sequel to Ron Howard’s hit 1991 actioner sees William Baldwin and Donald Sutherland reprise their roles alongside newcomer Joe Anderson (“Hannibal”), playing the son of Kurt Russell’s character (from the original).

The official synopsis matches what we exclusively revealed about the script last year : Fire investigator Sean McCaffrey, son of the late Steven “Bull” McCaffrey, is now working at the same Chicago firehouse along with his uncle Brian (William Baldwin). When Sean is assigned to investigate a deadly fire, he and partner Maggie soon realize that they are dealing with something much more than a routine fire. The clues they discover lead them down a treacherous path of arson, murder, and international terrorism. Sean must use his intuition, along with the help of infamous jailed arsonist Ronald Bartel (Donald Sutherland), in a race to find out who is being the fire and stop them from accomplishing their devious plans.

“Backdraft 2”, directed by Gonzalo Lopez-Gallego, will be released on Blu-ray, DVD and Digital May 14.
