The Lost Bus

CriticsCritics: 76
AudienceAudience: 7.0

When a fast-moving wildfire traps a teacher and her students, a reluctant school bus driver volunteers to bring them to safety. As smoke, flames, blocked roads, and widespread chaos close in, the group must rely on courage and cooperation during a desperate journey through the disaster.

My take

You’ll like this if you enjoy intense, true-story-inspired survival dramas with ordinary people facing disaster; Not for you if shaky visuals, predictable plotting, or extended suspense quickly become exhausting.
