"Day on Fire" tells the story of a singer, a
model, an Arab woman journalist, and a physician as they criss-cross New York City over a 12
hour period. Their intersecting lives unfold against the backdrop of a ghastly
suicide bombing in Israel,
and the strange New York City
wanderings of a malevolent Handsome Man, whose predatory intents lend an air of
inevitable, horrific violence.
Beautifully and hauntingly musical, this thriller also has a political and
personal intrigue that mounts inexorably as the sun begins to set on this
fateful day. By the time night has fallen in the city, the crossing of these
individual fates is sealed. Each of these four women has found their destiny
amidst the brutality that the film reveals. Starring Martin Donovan ("Insomnia,"
"Haunting In Connecticut"), Carmen Chaplin ("My Favorite Season" "Don't Look Up"),
Alyssa Sutherland ("The Devil Wears Prada"), Noah Fleiss
("Brick") and Academy Award winner Olympia Dukakis
("Moonstruck" "Away From Her").
