Nearly every performer in the A-list cast steps up to the plate and delivers raw, authentic, and embracive performances. Initially, McDonough doesn’t manage to illustrate much potential earning him the nickname “Donut,” but he quickly proves his worth.Īlso a part of the action is Christopher MacKenzie ( Taylor Kitsch ), Travis Turbyfill ( Geoff Stults ), and Jesse Steed ( James Badge Dale ). Determined to turn his life around, he asks Marsh for the opportunity to join the team. New to the team is Brendan McDonough (a confident Miles Teller ). Even though the local heroes know the grounds better than the outsiders, it is still protocol to take orders from them and stay behind them in ranking. Marsh turns to Duane Steinbrink ( Jeff Bridges ) to help the team become certified and upgrade their status to “hotshots.” Until their certification, the team remains a “type 2” operation that has to stick back and take orders from the arrogant out of town “type 1” players that fly in from California – who conquer the frontlines of the wildfires. Leading the pack of brave men is Eric Marsh ( Josh Brolin ), a superintendent of the Prescott, Arizona firefighter team.
The film, based on the true heroic story of the courageous Granite Mountain Hotshots firefighting crew, focuses on the notorious Yarnell Hill Fire that took place just south of Prescott, Arizona in 2013.
With the devastating fires raging on throughout the Napa Valley and beyond, “ Only the Brave ” is unfortunately timely. Miles Teller and Josh Brolin Deliver Fierce Performances as Real Life Heroes in ‘Only the Brave’
