Michael Buerk presents the true story of a three-man Hollywood film crew who found themselves fighting for their lives in the crater of an active Hawaiian volcano.

The group were over the Pu'u O'o vent of the Kilauea volcano, filming an aerial sequence for the thriller Sliver, when their helicopter developed engine trouble, forcing the pilot to crash-land on the floor of the crater - just inches away from a pool of molten lava. For the first time, National Park Rangers had the task of rescuing people trapped inside a live volcano. The programme was originally scheduled for 18 September last year.
