After a car crash in the snowy mountains, romance novelist Paul Sheldon (James Caan) is rescued by former nurse Annie Wilkes (Kathy Bates), who claims to be his “number one fan.” She takes him to her remote cabin to tend to his broken legs. Soon, Paul realizes that he is being held prisoner and that Annie is obsessed and psychotic, often seconds away from mood shifts of murderous rage. What will happen when she discovers he’s killed off her favorite character in his recently released novel?
Welcome to our coverage of the second Stephen King film we’re featuring this season–Misery. Join us as we discuss King’s reasons for being hesitant to license the movie for production, its brilliant screenplay by Hollywood legend William Goldman, and the expert eye of director Rob Reiner. Listen, as Johnny Has the Keys takes you to an isolated home in the mountains where a deranged and murderous stalker imprisons and torments her favorite author to the brink of misery.
