A television series adaptation of Man on Fire is set to be released on Netflix. The original 1980 Philip Nicholson (as A. J. Quinnell) novel of the same name was famously adapted for the big screen with the 2004 Tony Scott-directed hit starring Denzel Washington in the lead role. The action-thriller centers on Creasy, an alcoholic ex-military bodyguard hired to protect a wealthy businessman's young daughter. When gangsters kidnap the child, Creasy will stop at nothing to bring her back alive. Man on Fire also received an earlier 1987 theatrical adaptation by director Élie Chouraqui with Scott Glenn as Creasy.
