Movies like The Lost Bus

“The Lost Bus (2025) is a United States 2020s family-drama that condenses a rescue-quest into intimate relational stakes against a fast-moving wildfire. It frames the core conflict — a father's race to save a teacher and her students — with high-contrast chiaroscuro, smoke-hazed palettes, and tight focalization to make landscape function as pressure. The film foregrounds relational negotiation and communal responsibility to humanize disaster on a domestic scale.”
