Adapted by screenwriter
Rafael Yglesias from his own novel,
Fearless explores the complex struggle back to mental health of post-traumatic stress disorder victim
Max Klein (
Jeff Bridges). One of few survivors of a fatal plane crash,
Klein remains calm and assists other survivors out of the burning debris, earning praise as a hero by the media. After stoically departing the tragedy without a word to emergency officials,
Max returns home with detached feelings towards his wife (
Isabella Rossellini) and son, along with a bizarre, seemingly authentic belief that he is now impervious to harm.
Bill Perlman (
John Turturro), a psychiatrist for the airline, fails to reach
Max about his newfound fearlessness, but asks for his help in aiding
Carla (Best Supporting Actress Oscar nominee
Rosie Perez), a fellow crash survivor filled with grief and guilt over the loss of her baby. In one of his earlier roles,
Benicio del Toro plays a small part as
Carla's boyfriend.
