Christopher Walken stars in this tense, gripping adaptation of Stephen Kings best-selling novel, The Dead Zone.
One fateful night, Johnny Smith (Walken) smashes head-on into an enormous truck. For five long years, Johnny is plunged into a deep coma. When he awakens, he discovers that his youth, his career and his fiance, Sarah (Brooke Adams), have all been lost. But Johnny has gained something -- extraordinary psychic powers allowing him to see visions of the past, present and future.
In episode after episode, Johnny is propelled into horror-filled, supernatural experiences. Desperately, Johnny seeks seclusion, but a moral decision must be made -- should he use his powers to change the future of mankind? Martin Sheen gives a chilling portrayal as a sinister, psychotic Senate hopeful aspiring to the U.S. Presidency.
