Life on the Line

Synopsis: LIFE ON THE LINE is a riveting action thriller and family drama centered on Beau (John Travolta), his beloved niece Bailey (Kate Bosworth) and the hardworking men who risk their lives to work "on the line" and keep the electric grid running. These unsung heroes brave raging storms and dangerously dizzying heights in their dedication to keeping the populace safe. Toiling hundreds of feet in the air on wires carrying as much as 500,000 volts of electricity, tragedy is often inches away. Haunted by the electrocution death of his brother, Beau is devoted to Bailey and determined to see her go off to college and away from the life of linemen. Bailey has other plans, which include the strapping second-generation lineman Duncan (Devon Sawa), whom Beau despises. A deadly tempest is brewing and headed straight to their Texas town. Beau, Duncan and a legion of linemen are thrust into the eye of the storm and must face down impending disaster to keep their community connected. This compelling act

We did an interview.

I look at you?

I am with Duncan, who

works for Elite.

I have a few questions.

Yes.

I'm asking you first.

What is a lineman?

A lineman is what

was once called

A poser power lines.

- Since 1943, they

... - No. Sorry.

I do not want an

encyclopedic release.

What is a lineman for you?

Spontaneously.

The a**hole that you're happy to see

when the end of the world approaches.

I'm allowed to say that?

I said a bad word.

It's okay.

We will manage.

- There will be a beep?

- Yes.

This is exactly what I

expected, a crude response

True.

Tell us what happened,

Night of the storm.

What has really

happened in post 12?

Dad!

I'm here, my angel.

Dad!

All is well.

I'm here.

It must not be afraid

of lightning, baby.

It is God who reminds

us that He is there.

You go away.

Go.

You know I have to. But...

I have a gift for you.

If there is more light.

I love you, my angel.

Turn around and see me.

Be careful. Roule not too fast.

I partied with my

future ex-wife.
