LIFE ON THE LINE Trailer: This Story of Power Line Workers Looks DOA
Here's the trailer for Life on the Line, a new movie about a group of power line workers who must step up to the challenge of repairing the grid during a horrible storm with lives hanging in the balance. The premise isn't terrible, but this trailer...well, you've sort of gotta see this thing to believe it. John Travolta stars as a line worker who must raise his orphaned niece (Kate Bosworth), and he doesn't get along with her hot-headed boyfriend/baby daddy, who also works the power lines for the same company (Devon Sawa). I'm not sure if this is just a poorly cut trailer or what, but this looks pretty rough to me. Either way, Travolta's Texas accent is certainly something to behold.
Despite the trailer's claim that Life on the Line is in theaters on September 1, it does not yet have a U.S. release date.
Life on the Line is an exhilarating action drama, which follows the lives of a crew of eccentric and courageous Texan power line workers who do the extremely dangerous work of fixing the crumbling electrical grid. John Travolta stars as ‘Beau’, a salt of the earth man who blames himself for his brother’s death and raises Bailey, his orphaned niece (Kate Bosworth). His worlds collide when Bailey’s handsome lover joins his linemen crew on the eve of a massive and deadly storm that threatens to rip their lives apart.
