Matthew McConaughey, America Ferrera Save Children From California Wildfire in ‘The Lost Bus’ Trailer
Matthew McConaughey and America Ferrera protect children from a deadly fire in the new trailer for The Lost Bus.
On Tuesday, Apple TV+ dropped the first official trailer for The Lost Bus, a film inspired by Lizzie Johnson’s book, Paradise: One Town’s Struggle to Survive an American Wildfire, which was about the 2018 wildfire in Paradise, California.
The trailer opens with McConaughey’s character, Kevin, hearing a call for help over the radio that there are “23 kids who are stranded” at an elementary school and need to be picked up and saved from the wildfire. And the children happen to be in Mary’s class (played by Ferrera). A still in the trailer calls the blaze “the deadliest wildfire in California history.”
The film’s official synopsis reads, “The Lost Bus is a white-knuckle ride through one of America’s deadliest wildfires as a wayward school bus driver (McConaughey) and a dedicated school teacher (Ferrera) battle to save 23 children from the terrifying inferno.”
