Apple Original Films on Monday (June 9) unveiled the trailer of The Lost Bus, its upcoming rescue drama starring Matthew McConaughey and America Ferrera. Directed by Paul Greengrass, the film is inspired by real events and is described as “a white-knuckle ride through one of America’s deadliest wildfires.”

The trailer shows glimpses of how Kevin (Matthew), a bus driver, embarks on a dangerous mission to save 22 school children from a terrifying wildfire with the help of a dedicated school teacher (America). A particularly striking visual shows Kevin drive his bus up a hill as the inferno blazes all around.

Written by Greengrass and Brad Ingelsby, the film is based on Lizzie Johnson’s book ‘Paradi.se: One Town’s Struggle to Survive an American Wildfire.’ The cast of the film includes Yul Vazquez, Ashlie Atkinson and Spencer Watson.

The Lost Bus is produced by Ingelsby, Gregory Goodman, Jason Blum for Blumhouse Productions and Jamie Lee Curtis for Comet Pictures. An official release date is yet to be announced.
