Stephen King's The Stand

Starring: Gary Sinise, Molly Ringwald, Jamey Sheridan, et al.

Product Description

Originally aired as a television mini-series, this all-star filmization of Stephen King's gripping epic of good versus evil chronicles the episodic adventures of a disparate group of people who struggle to reestablish civilization after a man-made catastrophe wipes out most of the world's population. The world abruptly ends when a deadly virus accidentally escapes from a government sponsored biological warfare laboratory. Soon people are dropping like flies from the plague, but a few survive and find themselves strangely compelled to head into the West. Good-hearted people follow the voice of an ancient black woman and head for Boulder, Colorado. Bad people follow the enigmatic Walkin' Dude to Las Vegas. It is only a matter of time before the two sides are forced into a climactic battle over the final fate of humanity.

The Stand - A great book, well represented in what was expected to be just a TV mini-series.

The cast fits all their roles just right. I wouldn't try to think of an alternate group of actors that would have done better. Gary Sinise is one of my gotta see actors, Molly Ringwald is amazing here! I believe, this was the first time I've seen them, and following them since. I can't think of the rest of the names, all very familiar and wonderful. It takes a while to watch, there were four two-hour episodes, if I remember right. For me, that was not nearly enough!
