Short description
Aerial firefighter Pete risks himself and his vintage World War II airplane in a constant and death-defying quest to fight forest wildfires, much to the dismay of his girlfriend, Dorinda . His love for Dorinda and the advice of fellow pilot Al convince Pete to give up his perilous career, but he flies one last mission. Pete heroically saves Al's plane from certain destruction, but with supernatural consequences.
What's left behind the scenes
- Tom Cruise could have played the role of Ted Becker.
- When Dorinda returns home, she is dressed exactly like the Ripley character in 'Aliens' (1986).
- Audrey Hepburn's (1929-1993) fee for the film was $1 million. She donated the entire amount to UNICEF.
- For filming scenes in the forest after the fire, Audrey Hepburn was carried to the shooting location on a stretcher so that soot and ash wouldn't stain her white outfit, which included items from her own wardrobe.
- The incident where Dorinda makes a mistake and confuses John Wayne (1907-1979) with Henry Fonda (1905-1982) actually happened during filming with Holly Hunter and Brad Johnson. It made director Steven Spielberg laugh so much that he decided to include such a scene in the film.
- Initially, Steven Spielberg wanted Sean Connery (1930-2020) to play the role of Hap, but he was busy with other projects. Spielberg then ordered the role to be rewritten for a woman and cast Audrey Hepburn in it.
- Spielberg wanted to cast Paul Newman (1925-2008) and Robert Redford in the roles of the main characters – one as Pete, the other as Ted – but both actors expressed a desire to play Pete specifically and didn't want to play Ted, and Spielberg was unable to resolve this with them. Ultimately, Richard Dreyfuss played Pete, and Brad Johnson played Ted.
- According to the plot, the training base is located in the state of Colorado, but filming took place in the city of Ephrata in the state of Washington, where a training base for crews of heavy B-17 bombers was located during World War II.
- Approximately 500 people from the city of Libby in the state of Montana were hired for the roles of firefighters.
