Lisa & Joe

Lisa Taylor

Lisa Taylor

Virginia Madsen portrays the beautiful and intelligent Lisa Taylor who takes matters into her own hands after seeing Joe Fisk (Craig Sheffer) first in the woods, then at a local movie theatre. It is Lisa who initiates the idea of a school dance with the boys from the nearby prison camp.

Virginia Pulled a lot out of her own life to help develop Lisa in Fire with Fire because "like Lisa, I was pretty much of a loner in high school, some would have had stronger words".

"Lisa has a lot of questions about life and is not getting the answers in the existence she's leading, so she's ready for someone like Joe to come into her life".

This chance encounter ignites a spontaneous emotional reation in each of them, and sets them on a path that will change their lives forever. Together, they break the rules, defy the establishment, and they must fight fire with fire all the way!
