Firewalker is a 1986 American action-adventure comedy film starring Chuck Norris, Louis Gossett Jr., Will Sampson in his final feature film role, and Melody Anderson. It was directed by J. Lee Thompson and written by Norman Aladjem, Robert Gosnell and Jeffrey M. Rosenbaum.

Max Donigan (Norris) and Leo Porter (Gossett), down-on-their-luck treasure hunters, team up with Patricia Goodwin (Anderson), a psychic with a map to a legendary Aztec treasure guarded by the sinister Firewalker. Their journey takes them through a perilous trek through Central America.

Norris set out to create a comedy but pivoted to Firewalker after connecting with writer Robert Gosnell. Blending action and humor, the film marked his first lighter role, which he described as adventurous and fun, akin to Romancing the Stone (1984). Despite initial skepticism from Cannon's chairman, Norris leveraged his box office draw and took the risk, trusting audience reception to guide his future projects. Co-star Louis Gossett Jr. praised his dedication to expanding his range. Filming took place in Mexico in June 1986.

Firewalker received mixed to negative reviews, with critics frequently comparing it unfavorably to his contemporary adventure films. While some praised its lighthearted tone, blend of action, humor, along with its entertaining, easygoing nature and Norris’s attempt at comedy, others felt it had a derivative plot, wooden performances, and lackluster production values. The film was one of Cannon's top box-office performers in 1986, but it fell short compared to other Norris films, earning just over $10 million domestically.
