Firestarter

As college students, Andy McGee (Keith) and Vicky Tomlinson (Heather Locklear) participated in an experiment where they are given a dose of a low-grade hallucinogen called LOT-6. While the other participants suffer side-effects like headaches and twitches, the experiment gives Vicky and Andy telepathic abilities; Vicky can read minds and Andy can control others to do and believe what he wants, though the effort sometimes gives him nosebleeds ("pinprick" hemorrhages), limiting this otherwise very strong power. Andy and Vicky, now married, have a nine-year-old daughter named Charlene "Charlie" McGee (Barrymore), who has pyrokinetic abilities (the power to control heat and fire) and can also see the near future.
