Ambition

As the captain of the fire brigade, Michael (played by John Travolta) is undoubtedly the spiritual leader in the minds of the team members. Under his leadership, the team members have successfully completed fire alarm missions time and time again. Michael has many outstanding "apprentices", among whom Jack (Joaquin Phoenix) is the most proud of him. For Michael, the upright and brave Jack is exactly the successor he hopes to find. However, Jack also has his own troubles. The busy and dangerous work has caused emotional problems between him and his wife. At the same time, the unexpected sacrifice of his colleague and friend also made Jack consider whether he should change his job. At this juncture, another fire burned. The difference was that this time Jack was not the rescuer, but a trapped person waiting to be rescued. Facing the raging and terrifying flames and watching his colleagues fighting bravely against the fire, Jack found the meaning of life.
