Firestarter

There's a super-smart girl named Charlie who can make fire appear anywhere just by looking and getting mad. Her dad Andy can push people to do what he says with his mind, because they took a special secret medicine long ago. But mean government spies called The Shop kill her mom and chase them to use Charlie as a weapon, so they hide and fight back until Charlie makes one huge fire to burn all the bad guys' secret base!

Stephen King's 1980 novel 'Firestarter' revolves around Charlie McGee, an eight-year-old girl with pyrokinetic abilities— the power to start fires with her mind— stemming from her parents' exposure to Lot Six, an experimental psychoactive drug administered by the secretive government agency known as The Shop during a college study in the late 1960s. Her father, Andy McGee, possesses 'the push,' a telepathic mandate that compels others to act against their will, while her mother Vicky exhibits minor precognition. After The Shop murders Vicky to capture the family, Andy and Charlie flee across America, using their powers to evade capture, but are ultimately imprisoned at The Shop's fortified Longmont facility in Virginia, where they face psychological torment and experimentation. Inside the compound, Charlie innocently befriends John Rainbird, a charismatic Oneida assassin posing as a custodian, who secretly plots to kill her to fulfill a personal prophecy while manipulating her growing powers. As Andy plots a desperate escape using his push on key personnel like Captain James Hollister, tensions erupt in a climactic confrontation where Charlie unleashes apocalyptic fires, destroying the facility and broadcasting evidence of The Shop's atrocities worldwide. King's narrative masterfully fuses paranoid thriller elements with supernatural horror, exploring the human cost of unchecked authority and the volatile nature of extraordinary gifts.
