Hellfighters (1968). Based on a series of true events related to brave oil well firefighters who have risked their lives containing and clearing up dangerous oil rig disasters. A family man heads a Houston–based oil well firefighting company, Buckman Company. He got divorced many years ago yet still loves his former wife who became disgruntled over the danger and risk that comes with his career. When his daughter meets someone on her father's firefighting team after her father gets injured in a near-death experience, and falls in love, it brings the family back together for the first time in nearly 20 years. The father, head of Buckman Company, decides to resign and take a job on the board of directors of the Lomax Oil where his brother manages, so he can get back together with his former wife and live like a normal business man.

That all comes to an abrupt end when he is called up by a former Buckman Company associate as well the National Guard and asked to help with the most dangerous daunting task yet - a national security relations concern - where five oil wells were sabotaged and up in flames by guerrilla fighters in (previously allied) Venezuela. Both the US and Venezuelan military promise them protection in the war zone if the Buckman Company promises to put out the fires. However, the family wives wish to face the danger traveling alongside their husbands and refuse to take "no!" for an answer.
