Plot

'The Lost Bus' is an American drama written and directed by Paul Greengrass. Brad Ingelsby co-writes the screenplay for the film, based on the 2021 book "Paradise: One Town's Struggle to Survive an American Wildfire" by Lizzie Johnson and tells the true story of the Camp Fire wildfire in 2018. It is a production of Apple Studios and Blumhouse Productions distributed through Apple TV+ since October 3, 2025.

The film features three generations of the McConaughey family whose characters in the fiction maintain the same ties: Matthew McConaughey as the protagonist, alongside his mother Kay McCabe McConaughey and his son Levi McConaughey, although the latter participated in the auditions under a different surname to try to avoid being hired solely because of his family connections.

'The Lost Bus' narrates the harrowing journey that a school bus driver (McConaughey) and the children's teacher (America Ferrera) must undertake to save 22 children from the flames of one of the most significant wildfires in the country's history.

Premiering at the 2025 edition of the Toronto International Film Festival, the film generally receives positive reviews, highlighting the effective screenplay and the authenticity with which the tragedy is recreated. The film is primarily shot in Ruidoso, New Mexico.
