Apple Original Films has shared the first teaser trailer for a new movie called The Lost Bus. The movie stars famous actors Matthew McConaughey and America Ferrera. It tells a powerful story based on true events from the 2018 Camp Fire in California, which was the deadliest wildfire in the state’s history.
The story follows two main characters: Kevin McKay, a bus driver played by Matthew McConaughey, and Mary Ludwig, a teacher played by America Ferrera. They work together to rescue a bus full of children trapped by the wildfire. The movie shows their courage and teamwork during a very dangerous time.
The film is inspired by a book called Paradise: One Town’s Struggle to Survive an American Wildfire by Lizzie Johnson. The movie shares real events to help people understand what happened during the wildfire and how heroes like Kevin and Mary helped save lives.
In the teaser trailer, you can hear a dispatcher asking for help to rescue 23 kids who are stuck at a school called Ponderosa Elementary. Then, Kevin picks up a walkie-talkie and drives the bus through the fire to save the children. The scenes look intense but show bravery and hope.
The movie is directed by Paul Greengrass, who also wrote the script with Brad Ingelsby. Jamie Lee Curtis, an Academy Award-winning actress, helped start this project and is one of the producers. Jason Blum and others also produced the film.
Along with McConaughey and Ferrera, the cast includes actors like Yul Vazquez, Ashlie Atkinson, and Spencer Watson. The Lost Bus will be available to watch on Apple TV+ and in some theaters this fall.
This movie is a drama that talks about real-life heroes and important events, so it is good for older kids and parents to watch together. It helps us learn about courage, kindness, and helping others during tough times.
