About

You can stream Rescue Me (2004) on Hulu with a subscription.

The aftermath of 9/11 has left the firefighters of the NYFD traumatized, and no one more so than Tommy Gavin. Recently separated from his wife and their three kids, Tommy drifts between sorrow and anger as he tries to shake the recurring nightmares of his fallen comrades, especially his late cousin, Jimmy Keefe. Working alongside veterans like Lt. “Lou” Shea, Franco Rivera and Sean Garrity, and rookie Mike Lombardi, Tommy battles alcohol and drugs as he struggles to remain first and foremost a New York City firefighter.

Post-9/11 New York City feels suffocatingly heavy as the ghosts of fallen firefighters haunt the living through shared trauma and sudden hallucinations. This dark comedy-drama captures the messy, frantic reality of men trying to survive both the burning buildings and their own fractured families.
