Description

The Dead Zone. Johnny Smith is an ordinary schoolteacher whose life is shattered by a devastating car accident that leaves him in a coma for more than four years. When he finally awakens, he discovers that he has acquired a strange psychic gift: by touching people or objects, he can see hidden events from the past, present, and future.

At first, Johnny uses his ability to help others, locating missing people and assisting in criminal investigations. But his gift soon becomes a burden, isolating him from those he loves and confronting him with disturbing visions he cannot ignore.

Everything changes when Johnny shakes hands with an ambitious politician named Greg Stillson and foresees a catastrophic future. Convinced that Stillson’s rise to power will lead to global disaster, Johnny faces an impossible moral dilemma: should he sacrifice his own future to prevent a tragedy that has not yet occurred?
