What happens?
An acclaimed cast of stars shines in this powerful motion picture.
Ron Rifkin (TV's ER, WOLF) plays a headstrong book publisher who refuses to "sell out" by releasing anything commercial ... even when his business partner's son (Tony Goldwyn -- BOUNCE, GHOST, KISS THE GIRLS) discovers a sure-fire best-seller. As the father's stubbornness pushes their company to the brink of bankruptcy, the son must convince his brother and sister (Timothy Hutton -- BEAUTIFUL GIRLS, THE GENERAL'S DAUGHTER; Sarah Jessica Parker -- TV's SEX AND THE CITY) to join him in a fight that will save the business ... but may destroy their family.
Praised by critics for its unforgettable performances, THE SUBSTANCE OF FIRE is extraordinary entertainment.
