Jack Torrance (Steven Weber) and his family (Rebecca De Mornay and Courtland Mead) move into the sprawling, empty Lookout Hotel to get away from it all. Away from the alcoholism that is destroying Jack's writing career. Away from the violent outbursts of rage that are destroying Jack's past. But Jack's young son Danny knows and sees more. He has a psychic gift called enlightenment - a gift that the evil spirits of the hotel desire and seek. In the hands of Stephen King, the "dead" Hotel Prospect comes eerily alive.

The atmospheric horror film, based on a screenplay written by King, is directed by King's adaptor Mick Garris...
