Great movie, but hard to watch

As a former resident of Paradise, this caused a surge of emotions. I lived less than a half mile from Ponderosa Elementary and had moved 3 months prior to the fire. Watching this knowing every road, every place that bus went was heartbreaking. Great movie but exceedingly difficult to watch. Absolutely recommend watching cause it's just one of hundreds of stories of people trying to survive a fire that shouldn't have made it over Feather River Canyon. But those winds...damn they drove that fire like Satan himself was leading the charge.

how ordinary people can act extraordinarily under pressure

The Lost Bus is a 2025 survival drama film directed by Paul Greengrass, who co-wrote the screenplay with Brad Ingelsby. It is based on the non-fiction 2021 book Paradise: One Town's Struggle to Survive an American Wildfire by Lizzie Johnson about the 2018 Camp Fire. It stars Matthew McConaughey, America Ferrera, Yul Vazquez and Ashlie Atkinson.Set during the 2018 Camp Fire in Paradise, California, the film centers on Kevin McKay (Matthew McConaughey), a school bus driver, and Mary Ludwig (America Ferrera), a teacher. When the wildfire rapidly engulfs the town, Kevin is called upon to evacuate 22 children stranded at a school. What begins as a routine route turns into a tense, fraught journey through smoke, flame, blocked roads, and chaos, as they fight to reach safetyMcConaughey delivers a grounded, intense performance, while Ferrera adds heart and calm strength. The child cast brings raw emotion and realism. The ensemble including Yul Vázquez, Ashlie Atkinson (as the dispatcher), and child actors holds up its weight in a film dominated by disaster visuals. The children's fear, confusion, and moments of quiet resilience are often cited as among the film's emotional strongest points.Paul Greengrass keeps the tension high with his signature handheld style and gripping pace. The visuals of fire and chaos feel terrifyingly real, though some emotional beats feel rushed or predictable. Cinematographer Pål Ulvik Rokseth and the visual effects team succeed in creating a visceral, suffocating atmosphere of fire, smoke, and heat. The visuals are among the film's strongest assets: the bus lit by orange glow, smoke creeping through the frame, and the impression of encroaching danger are all powerfully rendered.A powerful, visually striking survival drama that captures human courage in crisis. Despite a few clichés, The Lost Bus burns bright with emotion and intensity. If you're a fan of survival dramas and disaster cinema done well, It's not perfect, but it's a visceral, ambitious ride that reminds us how ordinary people can act extraordinarily under pressure.

I swear I could still smell the smoke when it ended!

What a ride! This movie was pure intensity from start to finish, I haven't felt this kind of adrenaline in years. The fire and smoke felt so real that I could almost feel the heat and smell the smoke. Even after it ended, it was like the scent was still in my nose. That's how immersive and powerful it was. Easily one of the most gripping and realistic disaster thrillers I've seen in a long time.
