English Summary:

Catch a Fire is a 2006 biographical thriller film about activists against apartheid in South Africa. The film was directed by Phillip Noyce, from a screenplay written by Shawn Slovo. Slovo's father, Joe Slovo, and mother Ruth First, leaders of the South African Communist Party and activists in the Anti-Apartheid Movement, appear as characters in the film, while her sister, Robyn Slovo, is one of the film's producers and also plays their mother Ruth First. Catch a Fire was shot on location in South Africa, Swaziland and Mozambique.

In South Africa in 1980, Patrick Chamusso, a young, apolitical man, is accused of carrying out a terrorist attack. Afrikaner police officer Nic Vos is in charge of locating the perpetrators of a recent bomb attack against the Secunda CTL synthetic fuel refinery, which is the largest coal liquefaction plant in the world.

Patrick is unwillingly swept into Vos's investigation due to his inability to provide a satisfactory explanation for his whereabouts at the time of the bombing (he was actually having an affair with a woman not his wife). Eventually Patrick, his wife, Precious, and his family are tortured by Vos and his subordinates. Desperate, Patrick says that he is willing to confess to a crime he did not commit to protect his family. Vos concludes that Patrick is innocent, and orders his release.

Hungarian Summary:

Patrick Chamusso szerető férj és két kislányának gondos apja. Művezető Dél-Afrika legnagyobb olajfinomítójában, a Secundában, szabadidejében pedig a helyi fiú focicsapat edzője. Nagyon ügyel arra, hogy az apartheid által a feketékre nehezedő nyomás ellenére apolitikus maradjon. A ravasz és karizmatikus Nic Vos rendőrezredes azon dolgozik, hogy rendet teremtsen az ingatag helyzetekben, melyek egyre gyakoribbak, amióta az Afrikai Nemzeti Kongresszus (ANC) nevű jogfosztott aktivista szervezet az apartheid ellen próbálja összefogni a feketéket. Vos felesége és két lánya biztonságáért is aggódik. Kettejük sorsa akkor találkozik, amikor az ártatlan Patrickot 1980 júniusában meggyanúsítják az olajfinomító ellen elkövetett szabotázzsal, és letartóztatják. Az alibije bizonytalan, és Vos emberei brutális kihallgatásoknak vetik alá, miközben Vos egyre beljebb furakszik a Chamusso család életébe, és végül Patrick feleségét is bebörtönzi és megkínozza. Noha Patrick és felesége hamarosan kiszabadulnak a fogságból, Partick az események hatására teljesen átértékeli korábbi vezérelveit, és akcióba lép...
