Matthew McConaughey faces the fire to save America Ferrera and a classroom of children in the upcoming Apple film, The Lost Bus.

Inspired by real events, the film’s trailer shows McConaughey as a struggling bus driver who becomes a hero as he braves a wildfire to save school children and their teacher (Ferrera) from the inferno. McConaughey’s character’s backstory looks tragic, since he’s glancing at a picture of himself and his son before he decides to make the call to go after the lost kids.
