A masterpiece film based on a true story is available to watch on Amazon Prime. Only The Brave has been branded a film with raw emotions, with those who have seen it urging viewers to have tissues ready. The film, which has a 91% score on Rotten Tomatoes, follows the true story of the Granite Mountain Hotshots, a firefighter crew that lost 19 of its 20 members fighting the Yarnell Hill Fire in June 2013.

The synopsis on Rotten Tomatoes reads: “Through hope, determination, sacrifice and the drive to protect families and communities, the Granite Mountain Hotshots become one of the most elite firefighting teams in the country.

“While most people run from danger, they run toward it — watching over lives, homes and everything people hold dear, forging a unique brotherhood that comes into focus with one fateful fire in Yarnell, Ariz.”

The film, directed by Joseph Kosinski, brings people to tears as it pays tribute to the heroes who lost their lives in the tragic event. Those who haven’t watched it have been urged to prepare to be moved to tears, as impressed and heartbroken viewers have told people to have tissues ready when watching the film.

One said: “Awesome movie but very emotional. I haven’t cried that much since my dog died”.

A second: “A GREAT MOVIE! Bring a big box of tissues with you though!”

A third: “Really good movie, have your tissues ready.”

Whilst moved by the film, people gave the highest praise for how well it honoured the crew, with one person saying it was “masterfully made” and adding that they “loved the dedication to portray this story in the most accurate way possible with raw emotion”.

Similarly, another viewer, who gave it a high rating wrote: This movie will break your heart — for all the right reasons. “Only the Brave” delivers raw, genuine emotion and pulls at the heart strings like few movies do.

“It left me devastated — yet fulfilled. Devastated at the tragedy of the story — but fulfilled at the sincerity and love the characters clearly had for each other. I was fulfilled by the intensity of the suffering of characters in the end of the movie.

“It really felt like a justice for the love they must have had for those 19 men. It just felt right and was a truly well made and moving film.”

Only The Brave is available on Amazon Prime.
