The Fire Next Time

In 2017, unrelenting heat waves and coastal flooding brought on by the greenhouse effect ravage the earth. While scientists and politicians argue and lay blame, ordinary citizens pay the price for a world sickened by pollution and economic disaster.

Directed by James S. Henerson, The Fire Next Time leans on a strong ensemble — Craig T. Nelson, Bonnie Bedelia, Richard Farnsworth — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The series landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about action & adventure titles of 1993.
