Catherine sees no hero here, but rather finds him disappointing as husband, provider, and friend.Īs the movie progresses, we continue to enjoy the excitement of Caleb’s job as fire chief. While Caleb enjoys the role of community hero and somewhat of a savior, he finds it impossible to contain the inferno of his own marriage. Bank accounts, dry cleaning, shopping and doing the dishes become small sparks that result in a devastating fire to their hearts and souls. As we cheer fireman Captain Caleb Holt into burning buildings and runaway disasters, he and his wife, human relations director Catherine Holt, struggle with ordinary everyday marital issues. “Fireproof” is a story of true love, hope and salvation in a day when marriages are marked with infidelity, lack of commitment and selfishness. It is so real, so true, and will relate to everyone in many ways. Kids will cheer, and adults will check their racing hearts. One moment you will be laughing and the next trying not to cry. You will engage intense drama, nail biting excitement, plot and subplot, romance and fear. And yet, it is edge-of-your-seat entertainment.
