- Synopsis
- An American Hero: The RedAdair Story. Back in the days of the great Texas oil fields when fortunes were made and lost overnight, they said derricks were built out of wood but the men were carved from steel. Red Adair is such a man. A genuine American hero, this daredevil firefighter has been combating the most terrifying force of nature all over the world for more than fifty years. Red has braved gas and oil-well fires that send walls of flame hundreds of feet in the air, fires so hot they melt nearby trucks fires that can roast a man. From the wild and free-spirited days in the Texas oil patches to scenes of front line fire battles in Malaya and Algeria, Red tells how and why he repeatedly risked his own life challenging some of the worst disasters of modern times. -
