John Travolta risks his life to repair the city's power grid in the new trailer for the disaster drama "Life on the Line."

Fresh from his Emmy-nominated turn for "The People v. O.J. Simpson," Travolta gets down in the muck to play a seasoned powerline technician, named Beau. He's a real straight-shooter; a salt-of-the-earth type of guy and the respected captain of a tight-knit crew of electrical linemen. When a ferocious storm rips across the southern region, Beau and his team are sent out to fix damaged power lines, only to face a life-or-death crisis when the city's electrical grid suddenly shuts down.

Kate Bosworth, Devon Sawa, Gil Bellows, Sharon Stone, Julie Benz, and Ryan Robbins also star in the film, which is helmed by former production designer-turned-director David Hackl (Into the Grizzly Maze, Saw V).

"Life on the Line" is hitting theaters and VOD on November 18.

synopsis:
LIFE ON THE LINE is a riveting action thriller and family drama centered on Beau (John Travolta), his beloved niece Bailey (Kate Bosworth) and the hardworking men who risk their lives to work “on the line” and keep the electric grid running. These unsung heroes brave raging storms and dangerously dizzying heights in their dedication to keeping the populace safe. Toiling hundreds of feet in the air on wires carrying as much as 500,000 volts of electricity, tragedy is often inches away. Haunted by the electrocution death of his brother, Beau is devoted to Bailey and determined to see her go off to college and away from the life of linemen. Bailey has other plans, which include the strapping second-generation lineman Duncan (Devon Sawa), whom Beau despises. A deadly tempest is brewing and headed straight to their Texas town. Beau, Duncan and a legion of linemen are thrust into the eye of the storm and must face down impending disaster to keep their community connected.
