There’ll be a hot time in the old town tonight.

A government experiment with “Lot. 6” goes awry and leaves a few side effects; one of those effects is Charlene 'Charlie' McGee (an 8-year-old Drew Barrymore), who can start fires and maybe dispatch the Earth. Her father, Andrew 'Andy' McGee (David Keith), wants to save her, Captain Hollister (Martin Sheen) wants to control her, John Rainbird (George C. Scott) wants to take her to the next world, and Irv Manders (Art Carney) just wants a daughter. So, who wins and who loses, and who gets burnt in the process? This is based on a timeless tale by Stephen King, as there are many factions and cabals that today want to control their own Firestarter. I found it as much fun to watch now as it was originally. And who can believe how young Drew was? Many of the other actors are now relegated to the past, but not forgotten.
