Rewire

Background

Rewire is a special effects artist for movies in Hollywood, California.

During the events of Destroyer (1988) played by Jim Turner

Robert Edwards asks Rewire if he is ready and they redo the scene. David Harris brings the Sharon Fox dummy to Rewire and almost burns the script when he places it on the arm of the still working electric chair. Rewire shows David, Ivan Moser's boot he found from when Ivan was electrocuted. While shooting the scene where the dummy is electrocuted, the dummy is melted by the electrical current and the power goes out, locking everyone inside the prison. Rewire tells David, someone will have to go into the boiler room to reset the power. David and Susan Malone go down towards the boiler room. When Sharon gives a bad performance while she is being "electrocuted", Robert has Rewire use real electricity. After the scene ends, Sharon angrily tells Robert that she quits. Later, Susan asks Rewire over the walkie talkie where everyone is and that the power is down. Rewire gets the power back on, but is killed by Ivan.
