Point of Origin

Based on a terrifying true story, there's a madman setting fires that kill in Southern California. A madman leading a double - life that his friends, his partner, even his wife doesn't know about. John Orr (Liotta) is a veteran investigator with a sixth sense of placing the origin of suspect fires. His partner, Keith Lang (Leguizamo), has taken all he's learned from Orr to join a task force in search of the killer. If the knowledge it takes to commit the crime is the knowledge it takes to solve it, then one of these two men is tracking the other. Time is running out as the number of victims rises. Now the only way to stop the killer is to find the Point of Origin.

Captain John Orr (Ray Liotta) is a gifted firefighter whose abilities to sniff out the origin of a blaze is a constant source of amazement to his firemen brethren. His incredible ability has earned him the job of prime investigator in a series of fires set by a serial arsonist. As Orr teaches new recruits and looks for clues, he becomes a prime suspect when the origins of his own interest in fire is revealed. This HBO feature was based on actual events. Directed by cinematographer Newton Thomas Sigel (X-MEN, THREE KINGS).
