The Lost Bus

In Northern California during the 2018 Camp Fire, rookie bus driver Kevin McKay finds himself responsible for evacuating 22 elementary school children as flames close in on their town. Joined by teacher Mary Ludwig, he must guide their battered yellow bus through ash-filled roads, falling debris, and failing communication systems while staying calm for the kids who look to the adults for answers. The film is a tense, immersive survival drama that focuses on small choices, quiet moments of courage, and the frightening speed of a disaster that turns an ordinary school day into a fight to stay together.
