Firestarter
ActionAdventureHorrorSci-FiThriller115 min
Charlie McGee is a young girl who can start fires with a glance, a gift that makes her the target of a shadowy government agency known as The Shop. Drew Barrymore is Charlie, on the run with her father, with David Keith as the parent trying to protect her as the agency closes in. Martin Sheen and George C. Scott are among the figures on the other side of that pursuit. Built around telepathy, pyrokinesis, and a child whose power keeps escalating, Firestarter follows a family in flight as the government moves to control what Charlie can do.
