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?
