Full Plot Details

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 action drama also stars Sharon Stone, Ryan Robbins, Julie Benz and Gil Bellows.

Movie Reviews

New York Times - 9/10 by Neil GenzlingerUnderappreciated occupations deserve better than the cliché-clogged, utterly predictable Life on the Line, a terrible movie about the workers who keep the electrical grid functioning.
Village Voice - 6/10 by Alan ScherstuhlThe country songs that play over the credits offer more arresting detail about life on the line than the film manages in 100 minutes.
RogerEbert.com - 4/10 by Glenn KennyThis is one of those “based on true events” movies that give you the distinct feeling that the true events deserved better.
Common Sense Media - 4/10 by Jeffrey M. AndersonThe filmmakers behind this earnest, heartfelt drama truly want to honor the brave men who do this job, but the movie is packed with cliches and doesn't really grasp the details of hard work.
Los Angeles Times - 3/10 by Noel MurrayLife on the Line traffics in piled-on, predictable melodrama, with only intermittent sparks.
Slant Magazine - 3/10 by Keith WatsonFor a film about such a singular profession, Life on the Line offers surprisingly little insight into linemen's day-to-day labor.
FanboyNation.com - 2/10 by Sean MulvihillThis is a low voltage drama where the facial hair prosthetics on John Travolta's face are far more entertaining than anything else in the movie.
Variety - 2/10 by Joe LeydonThe narrative is so predictable that, when an outburst of trash-talking doesn’t escalate into a barroom brawl, it’s not just surprising, it’s pretty close to shocking.
User Review - 10/10 by Gustav SNow this is a classic very good. very sad many feeings while watch this movie. many sads. i give this movie a 2/2.5. john travolta is very funny in this sad movie his performance basically defies gravity and reality or something.
User Review - 10/10 by Jamie CLoved this movies!! Don't listen to the haters! The cast is awesome n the storyline is great n sweet. U never would've guessed who is a hero in our world. I love movies based on true stories. I recommend this movie n will definitely be adding it to my home theater.
