Firestorm: 72 Hours in Oakland (1993)
not real 72 hours in Oakland
This movie makes the fire look smaller then it was. I know it was pressed for time but they turned a fire that lasted from Sunday October 20th to Wednesday October 23 and made look like it was so easy to fight in just on day. The real fire took more then 1500 men three days to fight. The acting did stink and it looked to well scripted. They act to calm for such a big fire to calm. The worst part of the film was the why the fire crews where pounded by the press at the end when the press had nothing but praise for way the fire was handle. Some did pound them but you will always get a few any way. The best part about this movie was the real fire footage and radio transmissions. If you want to get look at what the real fire was like do yourself a favor look it up don't see the movie. If you want to kill 2 hours watch the movie.
