When writer Jack Torrance (Jack Nicholson) - who has a history of alcoholism and child abuse - takes a job as winter caretaker for a hotel high in the Rocky Mountains, he, his wife (Shelley Duvall) and their psychic young son will be isolated until spring. But once the first blizzard closes the road out, the accumulated power of evil deeds committed at the hotel begins to drive Jack mad. Now there may be no escape for his wife and son in this haunting madness, memory and family violence. (Roadshow Entertainment)
