In 1985, when this film was shot, 1997 must have seemed aeons away to director William Murray. According to this story, by that time a new type of energy has been created that is both wild and dangerous -- a real "hellfire." If it is not handled with care, this energy can carbonize anything or anyone in seconds, leaving behind a few embers to emit blue sparks and sizzle. The sister of one of the bosses of the "hellfire" company hires a private detective to do some work for her. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi
