Great Balls of Fire: The Art of Explosive Entertainment

Explosions and fire help create many of the most amazing sequences ever caught on film. These thrilling scenes of precision combustion are often the climax of our favorite action movies and wouldn't be possible without the skill and courage of Hollywood's great stunt performers. In the course of every stunt person's career, he or she is likely to perform hundreds of stunts involving pyrotechnics: narrow escapes from burning buildings, explosive battle scenes, flights from fiery crashes. Encounters with explosives are all in a day's work.
