Man on Fire

Burnt out ex-special agent John Creasy is drifting aimlessly and drinking himself into oblivion when he catches up with his old partner in assassinations, Rayburn in Mexico. Organised crime kidnappings of rich kids in Mexico City opens up an opportunity to work as a bodyguard, a job Rayburn helps him find. Creasy's client is 9-year-old Pita, daughter of industrialist Samuel Ramos and his American wife Lisa. At first resistant to Pita's probing into his personal life, Creasy gradually opens his heart to the innocent and endearing girl, and is devastated when she's kidnapped by a gang including corrupt police. He is badly wounded, but his fury keeps him going as he begins to hunt down the perpetrators, like a man on fire.
