Man on Fire
Man on Fire is a 2004 film directed by Tony Scott, starring Denzel Washington, Dakota Fanning, Giancarlo Giannini, and Christopher Walken. It is a remake of a 1987 film of the same name, starring Scott Glenn, Joe Pesci and Jonathan Pryce. In both films, a man by the name of Creasy is a bodyguard for a young daughter of a rich family, who seeks vengeance after she is kidnapped.
Both movies were originally based on a series of books by author A. J. Quinnell. Man on Fire loosely follows the first of the series about a former Marine and Foreign Legion soldier turned mercenary.
The remake was released on April 23, 2004 in the U.S. and drew $23 million USD in its opening weekend.
