Plot
Joe Fisk is a juvenile delinquent who falls in love with Lisa Taylor, a beautiful Catholic girls' school student, in an Oregon forest. The two meet by accident when Joe finds her being chased by his peers in a training exercise, and sees Lisa recreating the Pre-Raphaelite painting Ophelia by John Everett Millais by floating in the lake. Both of them are strongly drawn towards each other but as their current custodians discourage contact with the opposite sex they both find themselves in trouble. Forced to run away with each other, the young lovers hope to avoid the police and find happiness.

Reception
Critics were generally negative at the time of the movie's release, saying the film was dull and slow-paced,[1] and noted that the screenplay, credited to four writers, was poorly written.[2][3]
Release
Fire with Fire was released to theaters on May 9, 1986. The film grossed a little over $4.6 million.
Home Media
It was released on VHS in 1986 by its own studio and on Blu-ray Disc and DVD on July 31, 2012, by Olive Films. Шаблон:As of, it is available through Amazon Video, iTunes Store and Vudu. The film was shot and produced under the original title Captive Hearts, but was changed to Fire with Fire just prior to the film's theatrical release. Due to the late change in title, press-kit stills are seen with the original title initials "CH", followed by a hyphen and the press still number, etched onto the film negatives and carried over onto the printed stills. The film's new title was deemed more descriptive and exciting, as well as allowing a marketing tie-in with a song of the same title, "Fire with Fire" by the 1980s band Wild Blue.
