Catch a Fire (Movie Watch)

In 1980, in the Apartheid era South Africa, non-whites struggle with cruel & racist treatment due to existing separation laws. Patrick Chamusso is fortunate enough to have a home, a family & a newly acquired job at the Secunda Oil Refinery& has no legitimate motivation for involvement in anti-Apartheid movements. During a day off from work, following a morning of coaching his soccer team, Patrick visits a son that he has secretly fathered with his ex-girlfriend. At the same time, the refinery where he works is struck by a group of terrorists, with an attempt to blow it up. Patrick is arrested as a suspect, interrogated & tortured. To avoid exposing his double life & hurting his loved ones back at home, he keeps his alibi to himself. When his wife Precious is also arrested & beaten, Patrick gives in and lies by confessing to a crime he did not commit. Nic Vos, in contrast a much more reasonable white policeman than his fellow colleagues, sees through his confession & releases him. Patrick becomes a changed man, joins the outlawed African National Congress (ANC) & volunteers to destroy the Secunda Oil Refinery all by himself. When Vos learns of the plot, he begins a manhunt for Patrick, aka “Hotstuff."
