1 Mar
Summary
- The Lost Bus stars Matthew McConaughey and America Ferrera.
- Paul Greengrass directed and co-wrote the film.
- The movie depicts a school bus evacuation during wildfires.
"The Lost Bus," a film starring Matthew McConaughey and America Ferrera and co-written/directed by Paul Greengrass, was released on Apple TV in the fall of 2025 but has been largely overlooked. The movie, which earned an 88% Tomatometer rating, focuses on a school bus driver evacuating children during a wildfire in Paradise, California.
Greengrass's signature style, evident in films like "United 93" and "Bloody Sunday," lends a profound depth and realism to the thriller. While comparisons to "Speed" exist, "The Lost Bus" is more akin to classic disaster films and thrillers such as "The Poseidon Adventure" and "The Wages of Fear."
Despite its critical praise and Greengrass's directorial prowess, "The Lost Bus" struggled to find an audience on streaming, a platform often favored for lighter entertainment. The film offers a tense, expertly crafted viewing experience for those seeking a serious adult thriller.
