Apple Original Films has unveiled the teaser trailer for The Lost Bus, an emotional, action-packed rescue drama directed by Academy Award-nominee Paul Greengrass and inspired by real events. Coming to cinemas and Apple TV+ later in 2025, the film is a white-knuckle ride through one of America’s deadliest wildfires, as a wayward school bus driver (Academy Award-winner Matthew McConaughey) and a dedicated school teacher (Emmy, SAG and Golden Globe Award-winner America Ferrera) battle to save 22 children from the terrifying inferno.

The Lost Bus is written by Greengrass and Brad Inglesby and based on “’Paradise: One Town’s Struggle to Survive an American Wildfire,” by Lizzie Johnson. The film is produced by Ingelsby, Gregory Goodman, Jason Blum for Blumhouse Productions, Jamie Lee Curtis for Comet Pictures, and executive produced by author Johnson. After hearing Johnson on NPR, Curtis read the book and brought the project to Blumhouse, where she has a first look deal.
In addition to McConaughey and Ferrera, the cast includes Yul Vazquez, Ashlie Atkinson and Spencer Watson.
