Backdraft obtiene su puntuación woke de 0/10 al ofrecer acción directa de bomberos, rivalidad familiar y heroísmo clásico sin política de identidad ni agendas sociales.
Backdraft (1991) es un thriller de acción tradicional centrado en dos hermanos bomberos rivales, Stephen 'Bull' McCaffrey (Kurt Russell) y Brian McCaffrey (William Baldwin), que siguen el legado heroico de su padre en el Departamento de Bomberos de Chicago mientras investigan una serie de ataques incendiarios relacionados con incendios súbitos.
La trama gira en torno a la rivalidad familiar, la camaradería profesional y la confrontación con un compañero bombero (John Adcox, interpretado por Scott Glenn) que se convierte en pirómano para protestar por el cierre de parques de bomberos, con papeles secundarios interpretados por Robert De Niro como un investigador de incendios provocados y Jennifer Jason Leigh y Rebecca De Mornay en papeles románticos y familiares convencionales. No aparecen elementos ideológicos progresistas en el casting, los temas o el encuadre narrativo; la historia se adhiere a los tropos clásicos del viaje del héroe y al drama profesional dominado por hombres sin política de identidad, cambios impulsados por DEI ni críticas a las normas tradicionales.
