LOS ANGELES, Oct 12 — John Travolta proves just how risky mending cable lines can be in this trailer for Life on the Line.

The film follows Beau (Travolta), his beloved niece Bailey (Kate Bosworth) and the crew of men who do the high-wire work of fixing the electrical grid. When they are hit by a deadly storm, chaos ensues.

The synopsis of the film reads: “Life on the Line is a riveting action thriller and family drama centered on Beau (Travolta), his beloved niece Bailey (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.”

This compelling action drama also stars Sharon Stone, Ryan Robbins, Julie Benz and Gil Bellows.

Life on the Line is set for selected release on November 18.
