				Why watch this? 
				You'll like this faithful film version of the eerie Stephen King 
				novel. 
				Plot Summary: Based 
				on Stephen King's novel, the story follows a schoolteacher named 
				Johnny Smith who awakens from a five-year coma after a car 
				accident. Upon waking, he discovers he possesses the psychic 
				ability to see a person's future or past simply by touching 
				them. This newfound power, however, leads him to face 
				challenging moral dilemmas and potentially apocalyptic visions. Dad's Preview: 
				Christopher Walken, at his creepy best,  
				portrays of a man who acquires the ability to see people's 
				futures by simply touching them. He sees a mother's child 
				trapped in a fire, a car going over a railing into a river, a 
				man shot with a gun. All this is quite unnerving, and he's not 
				sure what to do with his new "gift". He understands that he's 
				experiencing the future... but, can he change certain outcomes? 
				If he can, should he?
