Today, we’re turning up the heat as we explore the 1984 supernatural thriller, **"Firestarter."** Based on the novel by **Stephen King** and directed by **Mark L. Lester**, this fiery classic stars a young **Drew Barrymore** as Charlie McGee, a little girl with the terrifying ability to start fires with her mind.

Alongside her father, played by **David Keith**, Charlie must evade a secret government agency that will stop at nothing to control her destructive powers. With memorable performances from **George C. Scott** and **Martin Sheen**, **"Firestarter"** is an intense journey of survival, family, and the dangerous consequences of tampering with supernatural forces.
