2 completely different movies with identical titles spotlight the same streaming service

Nobody has an exclusive monopoly on a movie’s title, unless of course it’s one of the thousands upon thousands of uniquely specific nicknames that exist. In a bizarre coincidence, the 1986 and 2012 were iterations of fire with fire both fly high on the Paramount Plus most-watched list, although there’s only one thing they have in common, albeit an obvious and important one.

According to FlixPatrol, it is the Duncan Gibbins romantic drama that is currently leading the hunt where it currently sits in the global top 20. In the OG fire with firea troubled youth serving time at a reformatory for new offenders sparks a romance with a convent girl that naturally leads to plenty of trouble as they try to figure out a way to make their forbidden love work.

On the other hand, the VOD action thriller starring Bruce Willis, Josh Duhamel, Vincent D’Onofrio and Rosario Dawson centers on a firefighter who takes the law into his own hands after being ordered to testify against the man who his life threatened, which led to much running and shooting.

The latter ended up with a meager 7% Rotten Tomatoes score, but we’re wondering if any subscribers asked fire with fire hoping to see Willis dish out old-fashioned vigilante justice, only to be greeted by an intimate portrait of doe-eyed teenagers at odds with those demanding they abandon their hopes for a future together.
