## Executive Summary & Cultural Positioning

Released on November 29, 2004, Combustion is an action, adventure, and television movie with a runtime of one hour and thirty minutes. The story centers on Millwood City engineer Scott Daniels, who recently moved from Houston and investigates a series of mysterious fires. Scott and Lourie Harper have an only son named Jesse, who hated the move and his father's youth home. Jesse fakes a fever so he can invite his new girlfriend Carmen over. Carmen is actually Allison Saunders, a reporter and the daughter of Scott's high-school ex. She finds Jesse unconscious after he is overtaken by fumes. Meanwhile, the sewers are found to be full of dead rats, cracks appear in various buildings, and gas leaks trigger explosive fires. Mayor Walker, who cares only about politics and publicity, overrules Scott's call for a mass evacuation. Scott receives support from a city administration friend named Ke.
