Description

Andrew V. McLaglen directs this action adventure starring John Wayne as Texan oil well firefighter Chance Buckman. Between blazes, Chance longs to reunite with his ex-wife Madelyn (Vera Miles) who left him 20 years earlier because of the fear of losing him to his work.

When Chance is injured while extinguishing a fire, Madelyn's fears are brought into reality. Meanwhile his fellow firefighter Greg Parker (Jim Hutton) falls in love with Chance's daughter, Tish (Katharine Ross), a relationship which Chance struggles to accept.
