Firestarter Two-Movie Collection (1984)

FIRESTARTER: Eight-year-old Drew Barrymore, who won America's heart in E.T. The Extra Terrestrial, stars as the child who has the amazing ability to start fires with just a glance. But can this power and the love of her father save her from the sinister government agency that wants her destroyed? The top-notch story, an all-star cast that includes George C. Scott, Martin Sheen, Louise Fletcher, Art Carney, David Keith and Heather Locklear, plus amazing special effects and stunts from the masters who worked on Star Wars, E.T. The Extra Terrestrial and Raiders Of The Lost Ark make Firestarter one hot movie.

FIRESTARTER 2: REKINDLED: In 1984, Stephen King's Firestarter became a horror film hit, with its frightening tale of a young couple whose involvement in a secret government drug experiment produced a dangerously gifted child. Sociopathic agent John Rainbird was instrumental in the "Lot 6" testing and earned the young girl's trust for his own ends. He then murdered her parents. Enraged, she unleashed her pyrokinetic powers, engulfing Rainbird in flames- and left him for dead. The child is now a woman. Charlene "Charlie" McGee (Marguerite Moreau) has spent the past 10 years on the run from the unscrupulous government agents who created her. Now she's through running and has decided to reclaim her life. A showdown is inevitable, and Charlie's only chance for survival lies in a turncoat government agent and a half-mad professor named Richardson (Dennis Hopper).
