Josh Brolin’s 2017 Tragic Firefighting Biopic With Miles Teller Is Extinguishing Its Streaming Competition

A star-studded firefighting biopic that will celebrate its 10th anniversary in two years is climbing streaming charts after grossing only $26 million at the box office. Only the Brave, which stars Josh Brolin and Miles Teller, recently left Starz and began streaming on Paramount+, and the film has found success on the platform, sitting at #6 at the time of writing. Only the Brave tells the story of the Granite Mountain Hotshots, a group of elite firefighters who sacrifice everything to protect their town from a historic wildfire. In addition to Brolin and Teller, Only the Brave also stars Jeff Bridges, Jennifer Connelly, and Taylor Kitsch, and the film earned scores of 87% from critics and 91% from general audiences on the aggregate site Rotten Tomatoes.
