Chicago firefighting brothers Stephen (Kurt Russell) and Brian (William Baldwin) have been rivals since childhood. Brian, struggling to prove himself, transfers to the arson unit. There he aids Don (Robert De Niro) in his investigation into a spate of fires involving oxygen-induced infernos called backdrafts. But when a conspiracy implicating a crooked politician and an arsonist leads Brian back to Stephen, he is forced to overcome his brotherly competitiveness in order to crack the case.

Critics Consensus

It's not particularly deep, but Backdraft is a strong action movie with exceptional special effects.

Watching this movie it occurred to me why there are so few movies that center around firemen, and that is because this movie is perfect. No one will ever make a better fireman movie. Acting, soundtrack, effects, plot. It is all there. Back when ILM meant something.

I give this 2 stars, simply due to the special effects. The acting is horrible, way over-played. The concept of ANY firefighter entering into a burning building without a face mask, ... not to mention the temperature of the internal burning fire burning out the lung tissue, ... simply so stupid. At least make it real, ... and this film failed on all accounts.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

The fire effects have held up remarkably well, but that's about the only thing of note. This notion that fire is a "living breathing thing" and is essentially the the film's main villain ( I'd argue Scott Glenn was just a henchman) is entirely too stupid to forgive.

A movie where you get the true heroics of fire fighters of the dangerous job that they must go through....you also get a murder mystery going with two brothers trying to live up to each other expectations and of their dead father as well.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

Wall Street Journal

[Howard] gives the fire fighting scenes a satisfying feel of terror. But the psychological portraits of the fire fighters and the arson mystery that dominate the film are flimsy, like an art student's dutifully crafted reproductions of the great masters.

Although the movie is unrealistic in its depiction of fircfighting, it's a stunning piece of cinematic storytelling.

Until Backdraft, no one had mastered the effects necessary to show what it's like inside a burning building. Now someone has.

Film Frenzy

A hoary melodrama in which the clichés are more plentiful than the flames.

Vulnerable Man (Medium)

Backdraft is an old-school flick filled with masculinity and heroism, which might feel toxic and over-the-top at times, but it’s still satisfying.

Bay Area Reporter

In Universal's Backdraft, Ron Howard establishes that he can get the best actors in Hollywood to do work completely beneath their talents.
