Actor Matthew McConaughey shared the official trailer for "The Lost Bus," a film shot in Ruidoso in April 2024, months before wildfires would ravage the village. The native Texan shared the action-packed trailer on his official social media accounts on Sunday, June 8, and revealed the flick would be released 'soon' on Apple TV. The movie explores what went wrong in California's Camp Fire, the nation's deadliest wildfire in a century, and includes stories of a bus driver and teacher who helped through a wildfire, played by McConaughey, according to IMDB. An official release date has not been announced by the streaming service. "The Lost Bus" is directed by Paul Greengrass and also stars America Ferrera.

Two deaths were reported in the wildfires, including a talented, well-known country musician, Patrick Pearson. McConaughey joined the effort to help Ruidoso residents by sharing a donation link to his millions of followers on social media in July 2024. Watch the official trailer for "The Lost Bus" below: The film is based on true events that happened in Butte County in November 2018, reported Deadline. The Camp Fire resulted in 86 fatalities and burned over 150,000 acres. While the official trailer was released for the film on June 8, streaming service Apple TV teased that it would be coming soon.
