Actually based on a true story...



"Based on the true story of New Zealand firefighter Royd Kennedy, whose heroism made headlines round the world in 1990 when he crawled under a blazing oil tanker in Manukau City, Auckland, New Zealand to rescue a young girl trapped in the inferno."

I've submitted this to the trivia section hopefully IMDb will accept it.

I'm not sure if I got this right. I believe this event was covered in a episode of "Heart of Courage" hosted by Alex Trebek. A series back in 1993 that told some pretty remarkable true life story's of survival and rescue. I think it only lasted one season. Does anybody else remember this? It might of only aired in Canada. Anyway, a pretty incredible act of heroism by Royd.
