It doesn't get any hotter than this. You're in the middle of the action, surrounded by towering walls of flame that are soaring over 80-feet-high and advancing at 60 mph. "Wildfire: Feel the Heat" captures the drama and destruction of a wild land fire in all its majestic fury, without neglecting the human side of the story. Only the giant screen can adequately present the awesome scale of wildfires.
