Fires of Kuwait

This 1992 documentary chronicles the international effort to put out fires that quickly consumed Kuwait's oil infrastructure after Saddam Hussein ordered rigs and oil reserves to be set ablaze. The film gives an interesting, atypical look at the Persian Gulf War by focusing not on the Hussein regime so much as the firefighters themselves and the innovative techniques they employed. With invaluable oil reserves quickly going up in smoke, and that smoke causing massive air pollution issues for the surrounding areas, firefighters race against the clock to contain an environmental disaster while maintaining as much of the precious black gold intact as possible.

Fires of Kuwait is a 1992 documentary with a runtime of 36 minutes. It has received poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 7.2.

Fires of Kuwait is available to watch, stream, download and on demand at Hulu. Some platforms allow you to rent Fires of Kuwait for a limited time or purchase the movie and download it to your device.
