|
|
| The heat is on...and time is running out! Howie Long, Hollywood's newest action hero stars in this pulse-pounding, edge-of-your-seat adventure! A prison break pits fearless smoke jumper Jesse Graves (action star Howie Long) against two devastating, seemingly unstoppable forces of nature: a raging inferno and a cunning, psychotic killer. Packed with spectacular stunts, scorching suspense and a cast that'll blow you away. |
