Manage episode 415424079 series 3287793
The Back To The Blockbuster team begins our road to retribution by looking back at Man on Fire for its 20th anniversary. Directed by Tony Scott from a screenplay by Brian Helgeland, and based on the 1980 novel of the same name by A.J. Quinnell, the film follows John Creasy (Denzel Washington), a despondent, alcoholic former CIA SAD/SOG officer (and U.S. Marine Corps Force Reconnaissance captain) turned bodyguard, who goes on a revenge rampage after his charge, nine-year-old Lupita “Pita” Ramos (Dakota Fanning), is abducted in Mexico City. The film also stars Christopher Walken, Radha Mitchell, Giancarlo Giannini, Marc Anthony, Rachel Ticotin, and Mickey Rourke.
