Stephen King's The Shining (TV Miniseries)

Original Broadcast Date: April 27, 1997

Steven Weber (Wings) and Rebecca DeMornay (Risky Business) star in this television miniseries remake of the classic Stephen King novel and Stanley Kubrick film.

A recovering alcoholic writer with a troubled past takes a job as the caretaker of a hotel with a malevolent will of its own. He's come with his wife and their young son, hoping to get a fresh start in life. But his 5-year-old son knows better. He knows that his innocent mind holds an incredible power--"the shining"--a power to mirror the nightmarish secrets of the hotel's past.... and to look into the hotel's terrifying future.

Written and executive produced by Stephen King himself, this electrifying miniseries was the winner of two Emmy Awards.
