With support from his boss, Duane (the beardless but not any less captivating Jeff Bridges), Eric is soon given a shot to prove himself. However, securing that position is not an easy feat which frustrates Eric and as a result, continues to put a strain on his marriage with wife, Amanda (Connelly equally biting).
The story is cantered on Eric Marsh (portrayed by the always-magnificent Josh Brolin) a long-standing member of the Prescott fire department in Arizona who has been trying for quite some time to acquire an elite ‘Hotshot’ classification for his crew of wildland firefighters a ranking that will allow him and his men to fight in the front lines. Stupendously grounded and beautifully human, Only the Brave is the latest from sci-fi director Joseph Kosinski – see Oblivion, Tron: Legacy – who steps away from complex and multifaceted outer-space-world-building to centre on the story of the Granite Mountain Hotshots a skilled group of firefighters who bravely fought in the frontlines of the Yarnell Hill fire in Arizona back in June 2013 with a wildfire which was later categorised as the third deadliest in U.S history.
